A beautifully striped fig that has a very stable variegation on its figs. Very similar to Panache, and many folks say they’re the same, but we’ve always had our stock plants labeled different and it does seem like the Bordissot Blanca Rimada ripens a bit earlier than Panache.

One of the easiest fruits to grow, and a true gourmet delight, you should not live your life without feasting on this sweet, delectable fruit. To fully enjoy fresh Figs you must grow your own. When fully ripe and at their tender, shipping them long distances is virtually impossible. Another plus for Figs – deer don’t like them (most of the time)!

Latin Name: Ficus carica
Site and Soil: Figs do well in a variety of soils, but require at least 8 hours of sunlight during the growing season.
Pollination Requirements: Self-fruitful.
Hardiness: Hardy to between 0° & 5° F.
Bearing Age: 1-2 years after planting.
Size at Maturity: 10-20 ft in height, smaller with pruning.
Taste: Sweet berry
Fruit Skin: Green and yellow striped
Fruit Flesh: Red
Bloom Time: Flowers are not noticeable as they are inside the fig.
Ripening Time: Breba starting in July, and main crop in August through September

Pests & Diseases: Figs are not bothered by pests or diseases in our region. Cover plants with netting if birds are a problem.

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.

The post Bordissot Blanca Rimada Fig appeared first on One Green World.

Malta Purple Red is a fig we’ve grown for years but rarely tasted as the main crop is too late for us most years here. It does ripen a small breba crop that is quite delicious with a nice thick skin and good texture. The main crop is one of the most prolific of any fig we grow with figs at every node and it’s a vigorous grower too.

One of the easiest fruits to grow, and a true gourmet delight, you should not live your life without feasting on this sweet, delectable fruit. To fully enjoy fresh figs, you must grow your own. When fully ripe and at their most tender, shipping them long distances is virtually impossible. Another plus for Figs – deer don’t like them (most of the time)!

The post Malta Purple Red Fig appeared first on One Green World.

Very cool ornamental fig that we grow just for the funky foliage that looking almost more like Ficus afghanistanica than Ficus carica. As far as we’ve been able to tell, this clone does not produce figs without pollination. We’re sure if it’s even a female fig, it could be a caprifig but we haven’t cut open any dropped figs. Growers folks in California and other Blastophaga blessed regions might get edible figs off this, otherwise it is a funky addition to the landscape for its unique foliage.

The post Gulbun Fig Tree appeared first on One Green World.

*This tree does not have variegated foliage!!!* We have found that the variegation on Jolly Tiger to be incredibly unstable and have found almost all cuttings we’ve ever received of it to revert to non-variegated foliage. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great variety! The figs and branches are still very striped even when the foliage is not variegated and the figs are some of the largest of any striped fig we’ve seen. They start out looking like a Panache fig with vibrant stripes that eventually fade to be nearly invisible once the skin ripens to being a deep black and a bright red flesh. So far we’ve only received main crop figs from Jolly Tiger that ripened mid season and were incredibly delicious.

The post Jolly Tiger (non-variegated foliage) Fig Tree appeared first on One Green World.

An ever changing selection of figs from our collection that we are either still trialing, eventually introducing, or are culling from the herd.

Brief descriptions of currently listed varieties:

De la Roca:  an intensely delicious berry flavored fig, from the collection of Monsterat Pons where every fig in the collection seems to have incredible flavor. This one takes a while to start producing and is usually too late for us here in the PNW so we will likely not grow it much in the future.

187-25: a selection from the USDA’s collection. It is supposed to be a very good fig, but ripens too late for us.

LSU Strawberry: an unofficial LSU release with a tasty strawberry flavor to it. This one seems to be on the later side of ripening, but we aren’t giving up on it just yet.

Guavaberry: a wild collected fig from California, said to have a guava flavor to it. Not sure how it will do in cooler climates yet, so still trialing it.

Bordisott Blanca Negra: intensely flavorful! Another one of the supremely delicious Spanish figs. Has a nice striping on it, especially before its fully ripe, that isn’t as distinct as many of the striped figs but is beautiful nonetheless. Pretty late, but tasty enough and beautiful enough that we’ll keep growing it.

Belmont’s Beauty: another California seedling that is reportedly common, but we have not yet seen figs here after a number of years growing it. They’re not dropping, we just haven’t seen any figs form yet. Reportedly quite delicious.

The post Unique Collections – Figs appeared first on One Green World.

Violette de Solliès is a fantastic fig from Southern France with super rich jammy flavors. It is a bit similar to Black Madeira or Noir de Barbentane, but has a flavor unique to itself. Has not produced breba crops for us here and the main crop is not the earliest, but worth growing in warmer climates, hot microclimates or with a bit of season extension for its richly flavored figs.

The post Violette de Solliès Fig Tree appeared first on One Green World.

One of the many unofficial LSU fig breeding program releases that have been widely circulated due to their usefulness in humid climates and great flavor. LSU Red produces small figs similar in size to Celeste, (one of the parents in many of the LSU crosses), but with a red skin. Very prolific and resistant to splitting and cracking in areas of high humidity or rainfall. Ripens mid-season and best suited to warmer climates.

A most excellent early ripening fig, similar in many ways to Chicago Hardy but even earlier ripening and with a thicker skin. It consistently ripens its main crop for us here in Portland, even in the years when we have a late start to summer. Excellent flavor and it’s our good man Jeff’s favorite fig!
