Longue d'Aout Fig Tree – Elongated Honey-Sweet Fruits with Cotton Candy Undertones

Longue d'Aout Fig Tree 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 similar to your own backyard or orchard.

Fruit Characteristics

• Skin: Green to yellowish-green with a smooth, thin texture and characteristic long, slender shape resembling a cucumber.
• Flesh: Pale amber to light pink, juicy and syrupy with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth consistency and light seed crunch.
• Flavor: Delightfully sweet with rich honey notes, subtle melon or figgy undertones, and a refreshing light finish. Excellent for fresh eating, drying, or fresh preserves.
• Size: Medium to large — often elongated and impressive in length, making it visually striking on the tree.

Tree & Growth This self-fertile, common-type fig is vigorous and highly productive, often yielding strong breba (early) and main crops. The tree is manageable, reaching 10–18 ft with pruning, and adapts well to container growing. It shows good heat and drought tolerance, performing reliably in warmer, drier climates like the Southwest and alkaline soils. At Red Rock Orchard, we propagate these from healthy, desert-tested stock to ensure strong root systems and resilience. Expect reliable fruiting in 1–2 years with proper care.

Care Highlights

• Full sun
• Well-drained soil; drought-tolerant once established
• Self-fertile – no pollinator needed
• High yields with consistent irrigation
• USDA Zones 7–10 (protect in colder winters)
