100 White Marseilles Fig Seeds - Ficus carica Heirloom Sweet Fig Tree

White Marseilles fig (Ficus carica) is a historic heirloom variety prized for its pale green to yellow-green skin and sweet, honey-flavored flesh. The fruit ripens to a light amber interior with a rich, mild sweetness that makes it excellent for fresh eating, drying, and preserves. This versatile fig tree grows well in warm gardens, containers, and sunny patios, and its large lobed leaves add a tropical look to the landscape.

White Marseilles is a reliable fruiting fig that can produce two crops in favorable climates, with the main harvest arriving in late summer to fall. Whether you are starting a home orchard or adding an heirloom fruit tree to a container garden, these seeds offer an affordable way to grow your own fig tree from scratch.

Planting & Care

Start fig seeds indoors in a warm, bright location. Sow seeds in a well-drained seed-starting mix, press them lightly into the surface, and keep the medium consistently moist. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient and maintain warmth around 70-80°F if possible. Once seedlings develop several true leaves, pot them up individually and gradually acclimate them to stronger light.

Transplant young fig trees outdoors after the last frost in a sunny, sheltered spot with good drainage. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants settle in. In cooler climates, grow figs in containers so they can be moved indoors or protected during winter. Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove dead wood.
