A real workhorse fig that was shared with us by one of our customers years ago and touted as having an earlier ripening main crop than Lattarulla, and they didn’t lie! St. Rita ripens one of the earliest main crops of any fig we grow, right up there with Ronde de Bordeaux and Improved Celeste. Flavor is similar to Chicago Hardy with a real strong strawberry jam punch to it. Very prolific from a young age and incredibly productive!
With its thick skin, chewy texture and stubborn refusal to split even under the most humid conditions, and ability to dry on the tree even in humid greenhouses, Negra d’Agde has proven itself a real winner for us and we’d guess growers in more naturally humid climates will find it to be an extremely valuable variety as well.
A far more vigorous, faster growing and easier to root clone of Black Madeira, Figo Preto produces figs that are essentially identical to the “true” Black Madeira (DFIC 144), but with much less fuss and patience needed. Plants grow at 2-3 times the speed of our other Black Madeira clone without any grafting or special care.
A highly sought after fig for its beautifully striped skin that starts the season out looking very much like a Panache fig and then changes to a veritable rainbow of red, yellow, and purple stripes until fully ripening and settling to a deep purple with very subtle or completely hidden stripes.
As delicious and infamous as Black Madeira is, we think White Madeira should be ranked right up there with it for its delicious and unique flavor. While we are somewhat partial to the darker skinned figs, White Madeira has a flavor that reminds us of strawberry jolly ranchers! Intensely sweet with an almost artificial berry flavor, but in a good way!
The queen of figs has arrived! Widely regarded as the best tasting fig you might ever find, Black Madeira has a certain mystique to it amongst fig growers and collectors. Figs ripen late and are typically grown in greenhouses by us here in the Northwest, but even greenhouse-ripened figs are out of this world delicious!
One of the best of the yellow figs, Excel has a delicious honey flavor and is richly sweet even when grown in cool climates. Excel resists splitting better than most varieties, produces a nice sized breba crop and and ripens its main crop in mid to late September here in Portland.
As the story goes, this fig was found as a seedling growing under a coffee tree in San Diego, CA so given the name Raspberry Latte. Very similar to the Bordeaux figs and exceptionally fine flavored! Not the earliest ripening variety so plant this one in a very hot location if growing in northern climates.
Strawberry Verte Fig has been around for centuries and is a great choice for growers in shorter seasons. The strawberry flesh is quite striking against the green skin and very flavorful. Requires a fair amount of heat for best flavor but ripens reliably here.
