Fig Tree Bundle
Our Fig Tree Bundle includes four distinct varieties and is a great choice if you are having a hard time trying to decide which delicious varieties to grow.
The Fig Tree Bundle includes:
Marseilles Black Fig Tree
A very popular but still somewhat rare fig, Marseilles Black Fig Tree is one of the finest tasting of any fig that we can reliably ripen here. The flavor is often compared to Black Madeira though it ripens much earlier than that variety. Often called a Mt. Etna type fig as it is similar to Chicago Hardy and a host of other figs that supposedly come from around Mt. Etna in Italy.
Negronne Fig Tree
A naturally small tree, Negronne bears striking, almost black fruit, with tasty, sweet, dark red flesh. Negronne is well suited for container culture or confined spaces.
Violet Sepor Fig Tree
A superb and early ripening fig for the Pacific Northwest, Violet Sepor ripens one of the earliest main crops of any figs in our trials.
Panache Tiger Fig Tree
The distinctive Panache Tiger Fig Tree produces attractive fruits with a green and yellow striped exterior. When ripe, the fruit inside is strawberry red with a slightly dry but extremely sweet flesh. The plants have good vigor, with growth up to 12 feet tall and multiple branches. Fruits ripen very late in the season, so Tiger Fig plants thrive in climates with long growing seasons in Zones 7-10.

Fig Mosaic Virus is a benign virus that exists in all cultivated fig trees. Yellow spotting of the leaves is a cosmetic symptom that shows more in container culture, but is quickly outgrown once trees are planted in the ground. The presence of FMV in all cultivated figs has become widely accepted, as even the national germplasm repository for figs maintained by the USDA has Fig Mosaic Virus. If the presence of FMV is a concern, then purchasing fig trees may not be the best option for you.
USDA Zone: 7-10
