The Ficus carica Grise de Saint-Jean is an old variety of very robust and productive fig tree. Self-fertile, it provides large pear-shaped fruits 4 cm long with gray purplish skin. Their pinkish-brown flesh is deliciously sweet. Biferous, this beautiful stocky ensures two harvests in the year. The first takes place in July and then from the end of August to October a second fruiting appears.
The Fig tree Grise de Saint Jean is resistant to disease. This variety is cautious and reserved for Mediterranean regions, because it fears severe frosts below -10 ° C. The Fig tree Grise de Saint Jean can reach a height of 4 to 5 m for a spread of 2 to 4 m. Undemanding, it adapts to all types of soils, even arid and stony. However, it prefers neutral to limestone, deep and well-drained soil.
The fruit of the Ficus carica Grise de Saint-Jean must be picked very ripe when it becomes soft and the skin cracks, letting its juices escape. It is eaten directly on the tree and is part of the composition of delicious pies and jams to enjoy its exquisite taste throughout the rest of the year.
