Ficus carica 'Madeleine des Deux Saisons' (F)

A vigorous, spreading large shrub or small tree, to around 4m tall with deeply lobed leaves. A very old cultivar grown at Versailles in the time of Louis IV, this can be more frost hardy than many other cultivars. Produces large, edible, exceptionally sweet fruits with a dark, reddish-bronze skin and pink to red flesh, from late summer into autumn. Can also be grown in containers, producing fruit at a young age.
