The fig hides its flowers inside its fruit, a botanical puzzle worth understanding. Eisen explains the nature and structure of the fig, its varieties, and how to grow and cure it, drawing on California's orchards. A thorough guide for grower and gardener. Master the ancient fruit from blossom to dried, sweet harvest.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
