Black Madeira 🇵🇹 KK Fig Tree-Grown From a Cutting

This medium sized black fig is considered to be one of the most desired must have varieties. It originated on the Madeira Island in Portugal🇵🇹where it is known as Figo Preto, Violeta or Preto. It was brought to Point Loma, Ca. in the 1950’s by a older Portuguese lady where it was given the name Black Madeira. It’s jammy amber interior has has a sweet, rich flavor. This fig is considered a slow growing fig and requires a long growing season to ripen. Colder growing zones should have some sort of early start, such as a greenhouse or other controlled environment, to ripen it’s fruit.  The KK variety Black Madeira is a more prolific growing and fmv resistant strain of Black Madeira.The first two photos is the actual tree being sold. This tree has been grown from a cutting started at the end of November.  Please note this tree is sold from the East Coast and is currently not effected by the Black Fig Fly spreading thru California. While cuttings sold from California are not effected, the BFF larva can be found in the soil of the potted trees. More information on the Black Fig Fly can be found on the OurFig  Forum.

Bidding is open to the lower 48 states only. I do not ship to Hawaii, California or Alaska. NO international shipping. The trees are shipped in soil so know your states agricultural restrictions.

*****I will do my best to protect the tree during shipping, however, I recommend someone to be home for delivery or arrange with your post office to have your package held for a pickup at the post office.  Please gradually introduce your tree to sun, wind or temperature changes. I deliver trees directly to my local PO to ship.******

In an effort to control the spread FMV by various mites, I have treated my trees with neem oil spray as a fungicide and with the spinoza Monterey Garden Spray as a miticide. Both are recommended for organic gardening. However as a precaution, I recommend that you isolate all new trees and plants from your collection for a short period of time to insure no issues. It is not unusual for fig trees to exhibit mild FMV.

***** Buy more than one tree and save. For every two trees purchased from me, the second tree ships for free, any variety.  Do not make payment until I adjust the invoice.*****
