The Black Genoa fig tree is a robust, fast-growing variety known for producing large, sweet, purple-skinned figs with rich red flesh. It thrives in warm climates, offering two harvests per year: a smaller early crop (breba) and a larger main crop in late summer to fall. This tree is well-suited for home gardens and can grow in various soil types, provided it's well-drained. Its fruit is ideal for eating fresh, drying, or using in preserves. The Black Genoa fig tree also attracts pollinators, making it a valuable addition to any garden.
