Negretta fig cutting
1- Negretta fig tree cutting: unrooted (pre-order for November-December shipping)
Negretta figs are small and very dark exterior with an excellent caramel, honey flavor and a thick very enjoyable texture. The pulp is thicker than most figs, and the yield is amazing. Trees produce tons of tasty rich figs, and has a great breba flush as well. The tree has a nice shape naturally spreading low with branches laiden with figs. The leaves, petioles, and buds are the most unique of any fig we grow. Pink buds, with a noticeable blue hue to the leaves makes this tree look like a different type of fruit. While the fig seems to share a bit of likeness to LSU purple the flavor is far superior and as a bonus the figs dry on the tree easily even here in our cold wet zone 5b. The easiest of any of our fig trees to identify from a far because of the unique colors this tree displays. The pink spring buds pop against the green of all the others
Our fig trees are grown organically and tended to like kings! They are fed compost teas, organic kelp, rock dusts, and lots of other great things to ensure optimum health of our trees. We then wait patiently until the plants are fully dormant for the absolute best cuttings! To root there are many successful methods, some of the most popular favorites are : The fig pop method, the mini pop (new smaller version), in sand beds, or heat pads and pots. Our go to method is 2” press fit pots, filled with promix FPX “soil”, on heated sand beds set to 72 degrees, in full sun, in the early spring. We do not spray ANY pesticides, and take pride offering the finest cuttings we possibly can.
Figs are easy to grow, and great for climates from zone 5b and warmer. They have one of the most well documented histories of any plant of antiquity, being mentioned in some of the oldest texts known to man, and used for many reasons. The Spartans revered figs as an ultimate food and was one of their staples. It’s in the Bible several times, and is currently under study for medicinal properties. The leaves make great tea, and fruit is world class!
