Petite Black Fig

This Dwarf Bears 2 Big Crops a Year! Fat, juicy black-skinned figs are an exotic treat you can grow right on the patio! Few fruits are more meltingly soft, rich, and sweet than a ripe fig straight from the bush, and no fig is as easy to grow as this delightful dwarf. Small enough for an urban balcony, small patio, or accent planting right in the front yard, this hard-working tree offers not one but two full crops of yummy fruit every year! And even if it never set a fig, you'd fall in love with its elegant horizontal branching and large, hand-shaped foliage.This naturally dwarf variety grows only 6 to 8 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide--perfect for a large container. It's self-fertile, so you just need one, but this tree is such a charmer that we recommend you succumb to temptation and try a pair! They make a great impression flanking an entryway or marching up the steps to the porch!The first year you'll probably get one good crop, and from then on, it will set fruit first in July, then around late September. The large, black-skinned fruits are plump and lightly creased, with delicious, juicy dark red flesh. Even if you're not a fig-lover, this tree is worth its weight in gold for the birds it brings to your garden!Lovely from early spring through fall, its slender trunk and nicely layered, widely-spaced branches stand out beautifully against the large, dark green, maple-like lobed foliage. The perfect edible ornamental, this dwarf is a showstopper in any setting! If you live north of zone 7, bring it indoors when freezing weather sets in; elsewhere, it will safely winter outside. Zones 7-10. This product can be purchased in the following collection:
