Tiger Panache Potted Fig Tree

Tiger Panache fig, also called Panachée or striped fig, produces distinctive green-and-yellow striped fruit with red flesh. The cultivar needs a long, warm growing season to ripen its late main crop and is best suited to fresh use.

Heat, color, and ripeness

The striped skin is most distinctive while fruit develops, but external color alone does not indicate readiness. Leave Tiger Panache figs on the tree until they soften, hang downward, and release easily. A reflected-heat location can help this late cultivar finish in marginal areas, provided roots receive adequate moisture. Avoid heavy late-season nitrogen that encourages tender growth instead of ripening. If container-grown, use a large stable pot and turn it periodically for even light. Crop completion depends strongly on accumulated summer warmth and the length of frost-free weather.
