Fig Tree (Ficus carica) NEGRONNE

French twice-bearing cold-hardy fig. Experts supposedly consider this variety to be one of the best figs ever. It was also cultivated by King Louis XIV at Versailles. Negronne is distinguished by excellent flesh quality and especially delicious taste.

Synonyms: Violette de Bordeaux, Figue Poire, Petite Ambique
Vigour: moderate, adult trees are smaller in size, sprawling, reach a height of 2.5 - 3 m, ideal for growing in smaller gardens
Blossom: parthenocarpic, forms fruits without pollination. This variety belongs to the group of parthenocarpic varieties that do not require the fig wasp Blastophaga psenes for pollination.
Fruits: egg-shaped, weight 40 - 55 g on average, skin thin, dark purple to black. The flesh is red, juicy, slightly creamy with a fruity aroma, of excellent quality. The taste is delicious, balanced, sweet with fruity notes reminiscent of red berries. Figs are suitable for fresh consumption, but also for jam production and drying.
Harvest season: biferous, bears twice a year. The first harvest starts in early July and the second harvest from mid-August to October.
Disease resistance: in our conditions, sensitivity to fungal diseases or pests is not known
Frost resistance: up to -17°C. Figs are able to ripen even in cold climates with a short fall.

We should not plant young fig plants directly outdoors. Only after three years in the container with frost-free wintering are the trees stable enough to withstand stronger frosts. A sheltered, sunny location in the garden must also be chosen for frost-hardy varieties, which sufficiently protects the tree from cold northern winds. The soil should be rich in nutrients and well drained. It is advisable to provide winter protection, especially for younger trees. The root area can be protected with a thick layer of mulch made of leaves or straw.
