Atreano is not the sweetest fig in the world, but it bears abundantly and makes great preserves. The large figs also pair well with cheese. Even when frozen down to the ground, the Atreano fig tree will come back and bear fruit every year. It also has extremely large foliage, among the largest I have seen in my 300-some-odd fig trees. They really add a tropical feel to any setting. Its fruit, as with all figs, is actually an infructescence of the tree, in which the flowers and seeds are borne. Often called a false fruit, it is not a fruit at all, but more like an inside-out flower.
