Black Mission is an oldie-but-goodie and one of the most well known figs, and its fruits are considered to be of the highest quality, very sweet and delicious. The figs have a black exterior and sweet pink flesh and you’ll get two crops a year; one in the spring and one in the late summer or fall. A striking addition to the landscape! 

The Black Mission Fig was introduced from Spain to North America in the 1760’s.

Interested in edible landscaping? What could be more enjoyable and rewarding than installing a landscape you can eat?

Fig trees will grow reasonably well in most soil types. They produce the best fruit in moderately to slightly acidic, moist but well-drained fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. In soil with low fertility it’ll be worth your time to mix in some organic compost to the native soil. They like the soil to hold a good supply of water, especially when the fruits are developing in summer, but not so much water that the soil stays constantly soggy or wet, which can be problematic. The best and most fruits will are produced when trees are growing in full sun. However, fig trees that receive a little shade during the hottest part of summer days will still produce good crops.
