Add item to quote to see pricing

Ficus carica 'Black Madeira KK' is a marvel in the world of fruit trees, admired for its resilience and the remarkable taste of its fruit. Referred to as the Black Madeira, its origins trace back to Portugal, designed for those rich, warm-temperate climates. This medium-height tree thrives under full sun and exhibits a proficient drought tolerance, making it a perfect blend of low maintenance and high yield. Its splendor lies in the deep green, lobed leaves, prolific throughout the year, adding a profound beauty to any garden. The real show-stopper, however, is the dark-purple, almost black figs which ripen in late summer to fall. These jewels of nature are not just pleasing to the eyes but are packed with a concentrated fruity sweetness, offering an unparalleled palate experience. Uniquely self-sufficient, the Black Madeira doesn’t rely on pollinators to bear its luscious fruits but requires protection from frost, ensuring each harvest is as bountiful as the last. It's not just a tree; it's an enriching, fruitful addition to any landscape.
