Tena Fig Tree

The Tena Fig Tree, introduced by renowned fig breeder Dr. Ira J. Condit in the mid-1970s, is a standout variety known for its exceptional sweetness and versatility. This medium-sized fig features a greenish-yellow exterior that ripens to a soft, golden hue. Its interior boasts a delicate amber to light pink flesh, offering a jammy texture and a flavor profile rich in honey notes with subtle floral undertones. The fruit's tightly closed ostiole (eye) helps prevent spoilage, making it an excellent choice for both fresh consumption and drying. Tena is a vigorous and productive tree, often yielding abundant crops. The tree is self-fertile and thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 8b to 10, reaching heights of 8 to 25 feet at maturity. Gardeners appreciate Tena not only for its delectable fruit but also for its resilience and adaptability. Its unique leaf shape—characterized by long, slender lobes—adds ornamental value to gardens. Whether you're a seasoned fig enthusiast or a novice gardener, the Tena Fig Tree offers a delightful combination of flavor, productivity, and beauty.
