A premier dark fig with excellent flavor, vigor and productivity, Genovese Nero deserves a spot in every fig collection. Deep black skin and a bright red flesh are flavored with an intense berry sweetness. Ripens mid season and holds up decently well to splitting.
Another strain of Black Madeira that is a bit more vigorous, Black Madeira KK produces the same delicious rich flavored figs as the other Black Madeira strains, but has a different leaf than the USDA clone and Figo Preto.
A powerhouse little fig that is quickly becoming one of our favorites, Campaniere is prized by fig growers in many different climates for its incredible cold hardiness, ability to resist splitting and have figs practically dry on the tree, and above all, its flavor.
A delicious striped fig from Italy that produces both a breba and a main crop. Flavor is sweet with a nice berry taste and will improve as the tree ages.
Finally a striped fig that produces a productive breba crop to allow cool climate and short season growers the thrill of growing beautiful striped figs that ripen early enough for reliable harvests every year.
A fig for the gardener with a serious sweet tooth, Sucrette is one of the purely sweetest figs we’ve tasted. Like a spoon full of fig sugar with a hint of something tropical, this is a seriously sweet fig.
Beall is a great variety for the Pacific Northwest and other cool climates, as well as California, producing a large and tasty breba crop as well as a fairly early main crop.
Another excellent introduction from Italy, I-376 produces a good sized breba crop as well as a large main crop.
A particularly hardy bud sport of the Sweet George fig, Alpine George is in all other ways identical to Sweet George and yet another variant of the Brown Turkey fig which seems to have a multitude of varieties, (and hopefully not too many synonyms…), that was selected for its incredible cold hardiness and ability to not die back to the ground in temperatures below zero.
One of the most highly prized black figs, Ischia Black is yet another gem from the USDA collection and one that certainly lives up to the hype. Deep black, nearly blue, skin and a bright strawberry flesh make this one of the most aesthetically pleasing figs and the flavor matches it!
