The Afghan fig is an interesting and cold hardy fig species from mountainous areas of the Middle East that we’ve long been curious about but have up until now have only grown the clone ‘Silver Lyre’, which has stunning foliage but produces inedible caprifigs. So we are quite excited to trial out a large batch of seedlings in hopes of finding one that produces edible figs in our part of the world, as they are rumored to be quite delicious. We’ve grown out far more than we can plant and so we’re selling some of the extra seedlings. There is no guarantee that these will make an edible fruit, and it will be many years until we find out which ones do, but the diversity in foliage form and growth patterns along with the rarity of this species makes them a fun Ficus oddity to experiment with. And if you do indeed find one that produces parthenocarpic figs, please share them far and wide, and with us too if you wouldn’t mind.

Fig Mosaic Virus is a benign virus that exists in all cultivated fig trees. Yellow spotting of the leaves is a cosmetic symptom that shows more in container culture, but is quickly outgrown once trees are planted in the ground. The presence of FMV in all cultivated figs has become widely accepted, as even the national germplasm repository for figs maintained by the USDA has Fig Mosaic Virus. If the presence of FMV is a concern, then purchasing fig trees may not be the best option for you.
USDA Zone: 8 at least

A striped version of the always delicious Col de Dames. Col de Dame Rimada produces late ripening, beautifully striped figs that resemble Col de Dame Blanc in flavor when fully ripe. The young branches are even striped and it will occasionally throw out a variegated leaf. Worth growing in a greenhouse or in a pot in northern climates where you can give it a head start on the season and an extension in the fall. The richly flavored figs are worth the extra effort!

A true gourmet delight, you should not live your life without feasting on this sweet, delectable fruit. One of the easiest fruits to grow, figs are happy outdoors in the Maritime Northwest and, with winter protection, in ports or in the ground in colder climates. To fully enjoy fresh Figs you must grow your own. When fully ripe and at their tender best, shipping them long distances is virtually impossible. While many fig varieties are not suitable for the Northwest, our varieties have been chosen for their ability to ripen in our climate. Another plus for Figs – deer don’t like them (most of the time)!

Latin Name: Ficus carica
Site and Soil: Figs like 1/2 day to full sun and well-drained soil.

Black Manzanita is one of the most exciting wild collected figs to come out of California. It was shared with us years ago by Mike Boss who had recently taken over Sonoma Horticultural Nursery and we assumed that this was yet another California seedling that might not produce figs without the wasp, but sure enough it produces loads of large and unique figs up here in Oregon. What is really special about Black Manzanita is how deep black the figs are. The skin is as dark as any fig you’ll find and the pigments in the skin even bleed through to the pith to turn it purple and the flesh is so dark red it turns purple in figs that get enough sunlight on them. An excellent addition to any fig collection, and likely an extremely healthful one given the amount of anthocyanins in the figs.
