Fig 'Blanca' is a deciduous fruit tree, trained here as a half standard with a clear stem and a rounded, spreading head of branches. The large, lobed leaves are a rich mid-green, giving the tree a bold, architectural quality through the spring and summer months before turning soft yellow in autumn prior to leaf fall. In late summer the tree produces pear-shaped figs with pale green to yellowish-green skin and sweet, pink-tinged flesh. Fruit typically ripens from late summer into early autumn, and in favourable seasons an earlier, smaller crop may develop on the previous year's wood and ripen in early summer. This variety benefits from a warm, sheltered position such as a sunny wall or courtyard, where the wood can ripen fully and fruiting is encouraged. It tolerates a wide range of soils provided drainage is adequate, and once established it copes well with dry conditions. The half standard form makes it a useful choice where a small, characterful fruiting tree is wanted for a patio, border or walled garden, giving height and structure while keeping the fruit within easy reach for harvesting.
