Green Ischau Fig Tree

The Green Ischau Fig Tree is one of the best fruits for fresh eating when eaten directly off the tree, and the Green Ischau is especially useful in avoiding damage by birds, since they are color blind, and the figs are invisible to them. When ripe the fig swells rapidly in size but remains green on the exterior, however, the inside is a bright strawberry color with a pleasant aroma. As the Green Ischau fig ripens, a slight yellow color develops on the fig skin, and a sweet fragrance follows. This Fig tree bears early, and if you order and buy mature plants you can harvest tasty figs the 1st year. The Green Ischau Fig tree originated in Japan where Japanese gardeners perfected a game and bird proof fig.
