Discover the versatile Ficus carica 'Signora' / 'Brogiotto Nero', a beautiful fig tree that thrives in our climate. This variety produces delicious, dark figs with an almost black top and yellow underside. They are aromatic and have a sweet taste, perfect for eating straight from the tree. The fruits are ripe as early as mid-August, allowing you to enjoy these delicacies early in the season.
The 'Signora' is a small bushy tree with large, decorative leaves, making it also an aesthetic addition to your garden or patio. This fig tree is self-pollinating, meaning you don't need another tree to produce fruit.
Caring for Ficus carica 'Signora' is easy. It can be kept either in a pot or in the open ground. Pruning may be necessary in spring to remove dead spots and maintain its shape. Make sure the shrub maintains an open structure so that light can easily reach all branches.
The green fruits that appear in autumn can be harvested for the winter, but bear in mind that they are not hardy and will not survive the cold. To protect the roots from frost, a layer of bark can be applied around the base in winter.
With its hardiness zone of 7b (-12 / -14ºC), Ficus carica 'Signora' is a reliable choice for gardeners who want to enjoy fresh, juicy figs straight from their own garden.
