Black Manzanita Fig Tree

The Black Manzanita Fig Tree is a unique California variety that was discovered as a seedling in the San Francisco Bay Area. This impressive fig produces large fruit with beautiful purple skin that gradually darkens to nearly black as it reaches peak ripeness. The dramatic exterior makes Black Manzanita an attractive fig on the tree, but the real highlight is the rich, flavorful fruit inside. Cut open a ripe Black Manzanita and you'll find a striking red to deep burgundy interior that becomes darker and increasingly jammy as the fruit ripens. When allowed to reach perfect ripeness on the tree, the pulp develops an incredibly thick, jam-like consistency with a rich blackberry jam flavor complemented by classic figgy notes. The combination creates a deep, complex sweetness that makes Black Manzanita an outstanding fig for fresh eating. With its large fruit, beautiful dark coloration, and exceptional eating quality, the Black Manzanita Fig Tree is an exciting addition to any home orchard or fig collection. For the best flavor and texture, allow the figs to fully ripen and darken on the tree, when the interior reaches its richest color and jammiest consistency. If you're looking for a distinctive California fig with big fruit and an intense blackberry-jam flavor, the Black Manzanita Fig Tree is an excellent variety to grow.
