'Hâtive d'Argenteuil' originates from a North Paris suburb and is a historic cultivar, first hitting markets in the late 1920s. It's name translates to the 'hasty of Argenteuil' and is especially well-regarded among early-ripening fig varieties, with some users of FigDatabase.com stating they've had fully ripened figs by as early as mid-July in warmer areas. Fruits are regarded as soft, with good quality strawberry-jam like pulp, and have a good track record for ripening and drying on the tree without spoiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eFicus carica\u003c\/em\u003e prefers full, intense sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil kept relatively moist throughout the spring and summer. As with many deciduous trees, figs require less water in fall and winter, more in the growing season. Though early fruiting may be seen with breba crops, 'Hâtive d'Argenteuil' is generally regarded as a mid-season variety, and can be difficult to root out from cuttings, so may require more hands-on care upon planting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: While ripe fruits are delicious and completely safe for consumption, many of the tree's parts, including leaves and branches, contain a mildly toxic compound, so care should be taken to keep fig plants away from areas where they might be chewed on by pets. In addition, care should be taken when choosing a planting location for \u003cem\u003eFicus carica\u003c\/em\u003e as fruits can result in reseeding, and trees perform best with a bit of maintenance through the year, especially with a heavy mulch layer through the fall and winter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Church Hill Nursery, LLC","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":54513395237139,"sku":"FicucaHadArUN#3","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/unitychurchhillnursery.com\/products\/ficus-carica-hative-dargenteuile-fig-unity-grown","provider":"Unity Church Hill Nursery, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
