An easy to grow fig tree and one of the best for dried figs, Kadota produces beautiful yellow/green skinned figs with an amber flesh. Fruits are incredibly sweet but require a long hot season for best quality, so best grown in warmer interior regions or in particularly hot microclimates in areas like the Pacific Northwest.

Kadota figs are well-suited to warm, dry climates. They thrive in USDA hardiness zones 8-11, where they can enjoy long, hot summers and mild winters. The trees are relatively hardy and can tolerate brief periods of cold weather, although they prefer a more temperate environment.

When growing Kadota figs, it’s essential to provide them with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. The trees should be planted in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Regular watering is crucial, especially during the growing season, to ensure healthy fruit development.
