This variety has long been grown in areas that dip into the single digits from time to time. The Celestial Fig Tree is a small to medium-sized violet to purplish-brown with white flesh, shading to rose at the center. It is firm, juicy, and one of the sweetest of all figs. Sometimes referred to as the Sugar Fig Tree.<\/p>\n<p>Chios AKA Anoukounis Black (greek variety)<\/p>\n<p>Danny\u2019s Delite:<\/p>\n<p>Dark Portuguese:<\/p>\n<p>Don Fortissi Black:<\/p>\n<p>Excell:<\/p>\n<p>Fracazzano Bianco:<\/p>\n<p>Florea: very, very hardy<\/p>\n<p>Gentile: white<\/p>\n<p>Gino: very, very hardy, has a small eye and is rain tolerant. a very good tasting fig<\/p>\n<p>Green Ischia:<\/p>\n<p>Goncha de Oro (Morle source) \u2013 Sweet small yellow figs, ripen early<\/p>\n<p>Hanc Mathies English Brown Turkey: very, very hardy<\/p>\n<p>Hardy Chicago Fig:<\/p>\n<p>Hardy Hartford is his most cold hardy variety, surviving -4 Fahrenheit with no winter protection.<\/p>\n<p>Henry Brown Fig:<\/p>\n<p>Italian Honey:<\/p>\n<p>Jurupa: very, very hardy<\/p>\n<p>Kathleen\u2019s Black:<\/p>\n<p>LaRadek\u2019s English Brown Turkey<\/p>\n<p>Late Black:<\/p>\n<p>Lattarulla:<\/p>\n<p>Lindhurst White: very, very hardy<\/p>\n<p>LSU Gold:<\/p>\n<p>Malta Black:<\/p>\n<p>Marseilles vs Black: very, very hardy, Has a berry like flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Maryland Brown Turkey: resisted to 8* F.<\/p>\n<p>Mildenhall:<\/p>\n<p>MBVS is a must have fig<\/p>\n<p>Negretta: It is a very productive variety.

It also has a closed eye.<\/p>\n<p>Negronne Fig aka \u2013 Violette de Bordeaux, Petite Negri<br \/>\nSaid by some to be the best flavoured fig of them all. Small to medium-sized, purplish-black figs have a dark-red interior. Flavour is sweet, fine-grained and very rich \u2013 one of our favourites. We have found Negronne to be fairly hardy and productive for us on Denman Island. The tree grows naturally small, making it ideal as a container tree.
