Description
Medium to large size fig originating from Madeira Island, Portugal. This purple/ Black skinned fig has an amber interior. It was brought to the US in the 1950’s by an elder Portuguese lady. The mother tree was planted in Point Loma, Ca. Under ideal growing conditions it will produce two crops. This fig is also known as Bebereira or Bebera Preta in Portugal. This is a Common Fig and no fig wasps are needed. Its sister variety is called Bebeira Branca in Portugal.

This is a Common Fig from Madeira island. It reminds me of a Mission in shape. It’s supposed to be cold Hardy . This is the 1st year it’s fruited for me. A bit of a late season fig. I found this guy on the ground of my greenhouse. So I assumed it had ripened or aborted. Or I was a little clumsy and knocked it over. Which has happened before. Tight eye. 25 Grams. This fig must have been aborted because it was quite dry when I cut it open. It’s almost not worth reviewing, but I’m putting one up for the sake of reference. It was dry and unpleasant. I’ll update this review if I can get a better fig off of this tree. It’s doubtful for this year since it’s been getting quite cold here.

This variety originated from a discovery by our friend Sue which she found growing in in the Point Loma (San Diego) area in a yard of an immigrant from Madeira. This tree is moderately vigorous and productive, producing medium to large fruits of good quality.
