The Alma Fig is an excellent, low-maintenance choice for home gardeners, especially in humid southern climates where it was developed. 

Key Characteristics of Alma Figs

• Pollination: Self-fertile, common fig type.

• Fruit: Small to medium, pear-shaped, with golden-brown skin and amber pulp.

• Flavor: Sweet, honey-caramel, with a rich, nutty taste.

• Climate: Bred for humid Southern climates, cold hardy to about 6°F (Zones 7-10).

• Growth: Vigorous, adaptable to containers, and produces two crops (breba & main). 

Because it's self-fertile, you only need one Alma fig tree to get fruit, and it's known for its reliable, heavy yields.
