Description
A new, exciting fig with outstanding cherry flavor! ‘Cherry Cordial’ is a gourmet fig variety that has complex berry flavors. ‘Cherry Cordial’ figs have a pronounced cherry flavor with hints of raspberry. The medium-sized figs ripen with a dark purple exterior and deep red interior. They have a soft, thin skin which makes them great to eat raw just picked.
Discovered in Santa Barbara, California as a seedling growing under a palm tree, and has since become a hot item amongst fig collectors. ‘Cherry Cordial’ fig trees tend to be water sensitive, and are noted to perform best when planted in the ground and supplied with drip irrigation. They may not perform as well in planted in pots with infrequent watering. Photo from: https://www.figdatabase.com/variety-details/2118/cherry-cordial
