California reports of early ripening are encouraging, particularly for a high-quality berry fig, but Heritage Seed Co. is evaluating our accession under Northeast Ohio conditions before making stronger claims about cold hardiness or short-season reliability. For northern in-ground growers, the most important questions will be how quickly Angelito fruits after spring growth begins and whether it can consistently mature a substantial crop before autumn temperatures bring the season to an end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Reserve Heritage Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"3 gal.","offer_id":67899805237554,"sku":"FIG-ANGL-3G","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 gal.","offer_id":67899805270322,"sku":"FIG-ANGL-1G","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/3014\/0210\/files\/IMG_7884.heic?v=1790960810","url":"https:\/\/heritageseedco.com\/products\/fig-angelito","provider":"Western Reserve Heritage Seed Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
