    Description

    Alma is fig a variety developed by the Agricultural Experiment Service of Texas A&M University. A cross of the variety "Allison" and a male "Hamma" caprifig, it was introduced in 1975. It is a medium-small fig that has golden-brown skin with a pear shape and amber pulp. The pulp is very rich and sweet. The eye of "Alma" is naturally sealed with a drop of resin that prevents problems with insects and fruit spoilage. A moderately vigorous variety, it is very productive and comes into bearing early in its life. Developed for the Gulf Coast region, it is a little less cold hardy than some varieties, especially when young. Once established, the trees are more cold hardy. It grows well in coastal areas as well as South-Central and South Texas.
    Only UN-ROOTED fresh, viable cuttings are sent.
