Makedonia Dark figs have red pulp with a dark berry flavor. The variety originally comes from the eastern part of Greece, near the Macedonian border. Growers like this Mt. Etna variety because it is a dependable producer and is well suited to northern growing climates. Makedonia Dark trees are vigorous growers and can withstand northern winters. Trees will die back in the winter and then regrow and produce figs in mid-summer. Makedonia Dark is considered very cold hardy and early ripening, making it a good choice for growers with short seasons. The vigorous and productive trees have lower light requirements than other varieties of figs and can produce in partial shade. Terms and Conditions: ***Please be sure to read our Terms and Conditions before purchasing cuttings*** When do we ship cuttings? Non-Rooted Cuttings(November/December): We begin to ship cuttings once the trees are dormant and in a shippable state. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in November. Shipping continues throughout the winter and early spring. We stop shipping when the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March. **All non-rooted cuttings ship between November and March regardless of the date selected during checkout. Orders placed during our pre-sale period(October/November) will ship out first in November/December. If you are rooting your cuttings in the spring, our cuttings can be kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to root them. They will be perfectly fine. That is what we do and they've turned into our most impressive trees. Rooted Cuttings(Spring): We begin shipping rooted cuttings once they are mature enough to ship. The shipping period typically begins late April and continues into June. Regardless of the date you select during checkout, we will ship when ready during that span. Please do not ask for ETA's or specific arrival dates. You will receive an email when your order ships with UPS Ground tracking details. For all questions, please refer to our Fig FAQ page here.
