This variety thrives in full sun and produces edible figs that ripen throughout the growing season. Its dual-cropping nature means you'll enjoy fresh figs from early summer through fall, making it an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking an extended harvest window.

The defining feature of Grantham's Royal Fig is its San Pedro classification, which means it produces two distinct crops annually without requiring pollination. You'll get early Breba figs on last year's wood followed by a substantial main crop on new growth. The ability to harvest across seasons on a single tree makes this variety unusually productive for home gardeners.
These figs are grown for fresh eating. The dual-crop nature of San Pedro types means you can enjoy Breba figs as an early summer treat and return to the tree repeatedly as the main crop ripens through the season.

Breba figs typically appear in early summer on last year's wood and mature within weeks. Main crop figs develop on new growth and ripen from midsummer through fall. Figs are ready when they soften slightly, deepen in color, and sometimes show a small droplet of nectar at the bottom. Gently twist and pull ripe figs from the stem; they should release easily when fully mature. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production.
Prune Grantham's Royal Fig in late winter before growth resumes. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning, as you'll want to preserve the previous year's growth where Breba figs develop. Light shaping to maintain an open canopy supports ripening of both crops.
