| Botanical Name | Ficus carica 'Ischia' |
| Description | 'Ischia' (often called White Ischia) is highly prized for its exceptional sweetness and thin, edible skin. The fruit is small to medium with a yellowish-green exterior that helps camouflage it from birds. It is well-suited for the Houston metro area as it handles high humidity well and produces a heavy crop of jam-like fruit. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 10-15 feet tall x 10-12 feet wide |
| Water | Requires deep, regular watering while establishing. Once mature, it is moderately drought-tolerant but needs consistent moisture during fruit development in the Willis summer. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Chill Hours | 100 - 200 hours |
| Harvest Time | July to August |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
