Fig Black Mission

Fig Black Mission Details

Fig Black Mission is a popular variety that produces sweet fruit with a purple-black skin and red flesh in autumn. Fruit is of a medium size and produced mid-season. It grows as a large, spreading tree and will bear fruit after 3-5 years. It does not require another Fig to be planted alongside to set fruit. This deciduous plant carries large, deeply lobed green leaves and has a very tidy growth habit and typically reaches 4 m tall and the same wide. Best results with this variety are achieved when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of cool climates, frost, and short periods of dry. Fig Black Mission is commonly grown for fruit production or as a specimen. It looks great in a mixed planting and will attract birds into the garden.
