San Augustino Fig
The San Augustino fig variety hails from Italy, where it was discovered by fig-grower, Francesco Lorusso. Its name derives from the Augustinian monastery where the mother tree was discovered. The monastery, called Convento di Sant'agostino, was located in Genova, Italy and dates back to the 13th century. What a picturesque setting to discover a great tasting fig like San Augustino.

Details
San Augustino figs are immediately eye catching because of their large size, weighing in between 90-110 grams. They bear light yellow skin and grow on trees with mainly 5-lobed leaves. The figs are pear shaped, without a pronounced neck. San Augustino is a vigorous grower and fruits will ripen mid-season. It is a unifera variety, meaning it produces one crop annually, and being a common fig, does not require fig wasps for pollination. Inside San Augustino, you will find a pale red flesh that is said to have a fruity flavor with hints of honey.

When do we ship cuttings?
We begin shipping cuttings once the trees are dormant and in storage. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in mid December. We continue to ship throughout the winter and early spring until the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March.
***ALL CUTTINGS WILL BE SHIPPED BETWEEN DECEMBER 15, 2020 AND MARCH 15, 2021 REGARDLESS OF THE DATE SELECTED DURING CHECKOUT***
Your cuttings will be cut to order to ensure freshness and provide the greatest chance of rooting success. Cuttings will be a minimum length of 8”, with at least 3 nodes, and will be thicker than a #2 pencil (many are sharpie thickness or greater). Our mother trees are stored in a climate-controlled environment to keep the trees dormant and healthy through the winter and early spring, and the cuttings are guaranteed to arrive in perfect, ready to root, condition.
