Although the 'Ice Crystal' is a fruiting fig variety, it is often planted for its attractive ornamental foliage. The leaves are deeply cut and resemble ice crystals which gives them aesthetic value and they are deep green in colour in spring and summer and turn to a buttery yellow colour in autumn. The fruits are much smaller than some other fig varieties like 'Brown Turkey', but this tree more than makes up for that with its decorative foliage which is great for architectural value.
