Banana Fig

Banana Fig is the strain that took Fig Farms from laundry-room growers to California legends. The husband-and-wife duo, Keith and Chloe Healy, built their reputation on this cross of Purple Fig x Banana Split — a genetic pairing that turned into their golden ticket. The standout pheno, Banana Fig #8, isn’t a separate strain but the keeper pheno from their original hunt — the eighth plant they numbered and the one that carried them to a Cannabis Cup win for Best Indica in 2017.

Flavor-wise, Banana Fig lives up to the name: sweet banana cream colliding with purple fruit funk, laced with sour citrus and a dash of spice. Some noses catch banana peel and berry; others swear there’s nutmeg and cinnamon hiding in the mix. Either way, it’s dessert with an edge. Break down these nugs and you’ll see why it won trophies — dense, frosty buds flashing purple calyx and orange pistils under a blanket of ripe trichs. Smokers say the effects blend elevated and tranquil in equal measure, with a grin that sneaks up and sticks around.

Banana Fig is proof that sometimes all it takes is the right cross, the right cut, and a little bit of luck in a laundry room to change the cannabis game.
