Ficus carica 'Black Mission'

Family: Moraceae, Genus: Ficus

Description:

Ficus carica 'Black Mission' is a fig tree known for producing two harvests each year of sweet, purplish-black fruits with strawberry-colored flesh. This partially self-pollinating variety is faster to produce than many other figs and can be grown in containers or in the ground. 'Black Mission' requires well-drained soil and full sun, especially in colder zones, and has moderate moisture needs. It is deer and pest resistant, making it a hardy choice for various climates. This fig tree is high in fiber and nutrients, making it a healthy addition to any diet. It thrives in USDA Zones 7-10 and is well-suited for coastal areas. Pruning during dormancy encourages new growth and maintains its shape.
