Zaffiro airlayer in a 4 x 9 treepot sourced from my mother tree. This is the Nikky version, a delicious dark honey fig. This variety produces medium sized dark purple figs with a pale interior and moderate seed crunch. The flavor is a deep sweet honey, different from other honey types, one of our favorites. Not an easy variety to root, Zaffiro can be stubborn until established. Once rooted, the tree is vigorous and sets fruit readily. In Zone 7A, Zaffiro ripens fruit about 99 days after fruit set.
This plant has has been grown indoors and so will need to be acclimated gradually to outdoor temperatures and sunlight this spring. Exposure to direct sunlight will burn the leaves and so caution and gradual exposure will be necessary.
I have fruited this variety and it is 100% guaranteed true to type. I assume that all of my trees have at some point been exposed to FMV, although proper care and feeding prevents outward symptoms. I am JoePAFig on Ourfigs, feel free to contact me with questions. My wife and I are gardening enthusiasts and operate a small hobby nursery, Fairmount Figs, licensed and inspected by the PA Department of Agriculture.
