Ficus carica 'Black Mission'
These figs are HUGE!
Figs are loaded with flavor and vitamins. This popular variety, originating in Spain, produces sweet, pear-shaped fruits that ripen into a rich, dark purple-black with delectable red flesh. Great for jellies and jams, and healthy, on-the-go snacking.
A great all purpose fig with a very long fruiting season. Black Mission is an ever bearing fig that bears delicious figs from summer to winter.Self-pollinating * SPACE 16' APART* RIPENS: August *Long Fruiting Season*
