All plants are nursery-grown and well-rooted, ready to establish quickly in the ground or large containers. Plants start shipping in spring after danger of freezing and will come in robust 2" plugs. Free shipping included. Let's Unpack This Trio: Magnolia (Brunswick) – Large, Early FruitMagnolia figs are big, soft, and juicy, with a mild sweetness that works well fresh or in jams and preserves. This variety is typically the first to ripen between the three, kicking off your fig season. It’s a vigorous, productive plant that tends to fruit well even when conditions aren’t perfect—great for dependable harvests year after year. Lattarula (Italian Honey) – Sweet & MildLattarula produces light green to yellow figs with a mild, honey-like sweetness and smooth, creamy flesh. It’s one of the most reliable figs for home growers, known for consistent production and forgiving growth habits. This variety is excellent for fresh eating straight off the tree, as well as drying or light preserves. Black Mission – Rich & ClassicUsually the last to ripen of these three varieties, Black Mission produces deep purple-black figs with bold flavor. While they can still be eaten fresh, these figs shine the most when dried, baked, or cooked down into preserves and syrups. Together, these three varieties offer different flavors, colors, and ripening windows, giving you more versatility and a longer harvest season. Growing Information 🌱 Plant Type: Perennial fruiting shrubs/trees🌱 Hardiness Zones: 7–10 (can be grown in colder zones with winter protection)🌱 When to Plant: Spring after last frost🌱 When to Harvest: Late summer through early fall (varies by variety) Cultivation Tips Soil requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Figs tolerate a range of soils but dislike wet feet. For containers, use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours per day) for best growth and fruit quality. Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, figs are fairly drought tolerant, but consistent moisture improves fruit size and yield—especially in containers. Harvesting: Harvest figs when they soften, droop slightly on the stem, and show full color. Figs do not ripen once picked, so timing matters. Beginner and advanced growers alike can enjoy this fig bundle and the extended harvest it brings.
