Susser Georg Fig

Susser Georg figs ripen late in the season, and growers have noted the extra-long hang time that is necessary for this variety to fully ripen. Growers with shorter seasons have had success with potting these in containers and bringing them indoors to protect from the elements. If you have a long growing season, these late-ripening figs will certainly be worth the wait. This variety is said to be a favorite of fig grower, Bill, of Off the Beaten Path Nursery. Many have grown this sweet variety from Off the Beaten Path.

The figs grow from medium to large size. They are drop shaped with some ribbing. Susser Georg will produce both a breba and a main crop, with the breba crop having long necks and the main crop having a more rounded shape. Inside is a reddish/brown pulp. Like other EBT figs, Susser George has a sweet melon taste. The subtle cantaloupe flavors make Susser Georg light and refreshing. The figs have the ability to dry on the tree and have good attachment to the tree overall. Susser Georg trees will have 5 lobed leaves and wavy margins.

When do we ship cuttings?

Non-Rooted Cuttings(November/December):

We begin to ship cuttings once the trees are dormant and in a shippable state. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in November. Shipping continues throughout the winter and early spring. We stop shipping when the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March.

**All non-rooted cuttings ship between November and March regardless of the date selected during checkout. Orders placed during our pre-sale period(October/November) will ship out first in November/December. If you are rooting your cuttings in the spring, our cuttings can be kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to root them. They will be perfectly fine. That is what we do and they've turned into our most impressive trees.

Rooted Cuttings(Spring):

We begin shipping rooted cuttings once they are mature enough to ship. The shipping period typically begins late April and continues into June. Regardless of the date you select during checkout, we will ship when ready during that span. Please do not ask for ETA's or specific arrival dates. You will receive an email when your order ships with UPS Ground tracking details.
