Why Choose Noire de Barbentane Fig Tree?

The Noire de Barbentane Fig Tree is celebrated among fig collectors for its rare balance of sweetness, texture, and resilience. With sugar levels above 24° Brix, each fig delivers a honey-rich, jammy flavor that lingers on the palate. Unlike many dark-skinned varieties, the Noire de Barbentane Fig Tree shows remarkable resistance to splitting—even in heavy rain—thanks to its small eye and elastic skin. Gardeners love how the Noire de Barbentane Fig Tree combines European heritage flavor with adaptability, thriving equally well in pots or open soil, and producing early crops in its very first year after grafting.

In Real Gardens

  • Zone 7–8: Begins fruiting by late July, maintaining high sugar even in humid conditions.
  • Warm climates (Zone 9–10): Two harvests per year are possible; ensure consistent watering during fruit swell.
  • Container growth: Ideal for patios; 15–20 gallon pots with 30% perlite mix promote root aeration.

Care & Placement

  • Light: Full sun exposure for 6–8 hours daily to maximize sweetness.
  • Water: Deep watering once soil top 2 cm dries; reduce during dormancy.
  • Soil: Well-drained loam or sandy mix, slightly acidic (pH 6.0–6.5).
  • Fertilizer: Organic compost in spring; potassium boost during fruiting.
  • Pruning: Light pruning after harvest to maintain airflow and shape.
