Cold-Hardy Packs consist of 10 total cuttings – five (5) fig tree varieties with two (2) cuttings of each – that are ideal for growing in Zones 6-7. (See below for varieties contained in this pack.)
All cuttings contained in the pack are from fig trees that have grown in-ground and unprotected here in Lancaster, PA (Zone 6B) and have fruited fairly well for a number of consecutive years. (Protection would no doubt increase yield substantially, but we have been happy with the dependable volume we get every year.) As a result of in-ground growing, the thickness of the cuttings is much better than container-grown trees – these cuttings are large, heavy and full of energy!
Tastes of Spain Assortment Pack includes:
-
Blaveta Campos: This is a unique fig with blue to purple skin and dark red flesh. Exceptionally sweet when ripe. It is on the late side to ripen in the North East.
Morro de Bou: This is a new variety for us. Supposedly a rich green-skinned fig with deep red pulp. No data to this point.
Capoll Curt Negra: Great Spanish fig that is mid-season. Very sweet.
Blava Flor: Blava Flor is one of the most striking figs I have ever seen. With a purple black skin and a deep purple red flesh, it reminds me of a plum. Bursting with flavor and is mid season. I don’t think it would be successfully grown in the ground in the northeast – pot culture only.
Paneta de Monde N-3: This is a new one for us, but looks delicious and has a tight eye. It is supposed to be very sweet with some berry notes. Yellow skin with red blush, light red interior.
» Cuttings will have at least 3 nodes with a thickness greater than a pencil (most like a marker) and are about 6-10 inches in length.
» The product image shows actual cuttings from our nursery & is meant to demonstrate the average size of our fig tree cuttings. The photo is not an exact representation of this variety.
