PLANT PROFILE

Ficus carica 'Black Genoa', known as the Black Genoa Fig, is a prized fig variety cherished for its large, juicy fruits featuring a deep purple-black skin and vibrant red flesh. The sweet, rich flavor of its succulent fruit makes it a standout for culinary use and homegrown enjoyment. Growing 3–5 meters tall and 3–4 meters wide, this deciduous tree also boasts broad, deeply lobed bright green leaves that add a lush Mediterranean charm to any garden.

With a spreading habit, the Black Genoa Fig serves beautifully as both a fruit producer and an ornamental shade tree, suitable even for container gardening. It thrives in full sun, tolerates light frost once mature, and is drought hardy when established. This variety looks excellent for those seeking a reliable fruit harvest paired with classic garden elegance.
