The Alma Fig is a southern classic, prized for its rich honey flavor, glossy skin, and resilience to heat and rain. Developed by Texas A&M, this variety thrives in hot, humid regions where other figs may struggle. Its light eye seals naturally with honey before ripening, helping prevent splitting and spoilage — a key advantage in wet or unpredictable climates.
Alma produces small to medium pear-shaped figs with amber flesh and a smooth, syrupy texture. Highly productive and dependable, it delivers a late-season harvest just when most other fig varieties are finishing.
