Won the Retailers' Choice Award at the 2014 FarWest Show! 'Olympian' is a ultra cold hardy fig & absolutely delicious. This fig produces very sweet fruits with thin purple skin with a red to violet flesh. Discovered by retired biologist Denny McGaughy, he named it after the city where he found it in a sheltered location. Denny worked with Malli Aradhy, a geneticist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Clonal Germplasm Repository to conduct DNA test to find out if it was a known cultivar. It did not match any of the 200+ figs in the repository. It appears Denny has found a unique heirloom variety that produces well in cool & coastal climates.
Nothing to display at this time.

Hi Will, just run a search on here for Olympian and you should find lots of posts on this variety.
Search function is your friend. I have this variety and really like it a lot. The first yer figs were meh, but this year they were excellent.
Listing of plants above looks like an infomercial. Olympian is widely known and traded by members of this forum.
I've been buying tissue culture ornamental plant liners for years from Agristarts. They are a top notch source but I believe they are wholesale only and that most of what they offer is only available in trays of 72 plants.
Olympian is widely known and well liked. You can find someone to get you cuttings or a plant here. I have a nursery around me that was selling 1 gallon size for $7. It's not an expensive variety.
