Sultane Fig

We obtained this fig from southern France where it was recommended as a good choice for cooler summer climates. It has proven to set a summer ripening breba crop in the cool Pacific Northwest and is also favored in England. In warmer summer areas it also ripens a fall crop.

The small to medium size oval shaped fig has dark purple to dark brown skin and strawberry colored flesh with a delicious flavor, good for fresh eating or drying. The tree has an upright shape. It is also known as Noir de Juillet.

This variety is grown from tissue culture and has been heat-treated to significantly reduce the presence of Fig Mosaic Virus.
