--BLACK MISSION-- The Black Mission fig tree is the most popular variety planted in California. Figs taste rich and sweet with a hint of berry flavor. The fruit is delicious when eaten fresh, dried, or canned. Black Mission figs have purplish-black skin with a strawberry- colored pulp. The Black Mission fig tree is a long-lived and large tree, but can be kept small with pruning. Self-fruitful. They have two crops a year- light Breba crop and heavy late crop. Fruit splitting is minimal, and the eye is fairly tight, so fruit spoilage is seldom a problem. Black Mission fig trees can be grown on the coast or inland. Height at maturity: 15'-30' in the ground, but can be kept smaller with pruning or if kept in containers This is a wonderful container plant. Zones 8-10 Grown from rooted cuttings.
