Longue d'Aout Fig Tree Cutting Discover one of the most unique and productive elongated fig varieties with the Longue d'Aout — prized for its distinctive cucumber-like shape and excellent honey-sweet flavor. Grown from cuttings at Red Rock Orchard in the high desert of southern Utah, this variety thrives in challenging conditions. Each cutting is 8–12 inches long with a minimum of 3 nodes and range from 1/4 to 1 inch in diameter.
Fruit Characteristics
- Skin: Green to yellowish-green with a smooth, thin texture and characteristic long, slender shape.
- Flesh: Pale amber to light pink, juicy and syrupy with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth consistency and light seed crunch.
