Ficus carica 'Ice Crystal', commonly known as the Ice Crystal fig, is a deciduous fruit tree trained here as a half standard, giving it a clear stem with a rounded head of branches. The foliage is a distinctive feature of this cultivar, with deeply lobed, glossy green leaves that have a slightly crinkled, crystalline texture giving rise to its name. Leaves emerge in spring and provide good coverage through summer before turning yellow in autumn prior to leaf fall. The tree produces sweet, pear-shaped figs that ripen from late summer into autumn, with skins turning a greenish-brown to purple shade as they mature. As a half standard, it suits a position as a specimen tree in a border or lawn, or can be grown in a large container on a patio. This fig prefers a warm, sheltered, sunny spot, ideally against a south-facing wall, and does well in free-draining soil. It is tolerant of poor or stony soils, reflecting its Mediterranean origins, and benefits from protection from harsh winter winds. The ripening fruit can be attractive to birds and other wildlife seeking a late-season food source.
