Fig Tree ‘Beer’s Black’ (Ficus carica hybrid)

‘Beer’s Black’ is a dwarf fig tree that produces medium- sized figs with a reddish-pink center and a violet exterior skin. Similar to ‘Violette de Bordeaux,’ this is one of the best figs for eating and making preserves. ‘Beer’s Black’ is self-pollinating, and it produces an early breba crop in the spring and then another crop of figs in the fall. Remember to grow in full sun, well-drained soil and dry out between waterings. A lovely addition to your potted container collection or plant directly into the ground in your outdoor garden space in zones 7-9 or 6 with added winter protection.
