z. 7 – 10 aka – Violette de Bordeaux, Petite Negri
Said to be one of the best flavoured figs of them all. Small to medium-sized, purplish-black figs have a dark-red interior. Flavour is sweet, fine-grained and very rich – one of our favourites. We have found Negronne to be fairly hardy and productive for us on Denman Island. The tree grows naturally small, making it ideal as a container tree. If you have a sunny and warm, protected nook in your yard, or better yet, in your cold frame or greenhouse, try this fig.
We recommend that you plant this tree in a sunny and protected spot; then mulch fairly heavily around its base and finally protect it with a burlap wrap in mid-Winter for the first few years.
All Fig Trees are large 1-gal size plants.
