Smochin compact - Ficus carica 'Little Miss Figgy' (Ficus carica 'Majoam')

Ficus carica 'Little Miss Figgy' - an exceptional, compact cultivar (small-sized) suitable for narrow spaces or growing in large pots. At maturity, the plant reaches a height of up to 1.8 - 2 m and a crown diameter of up to 1.2 m. It is also known as Ficus carica 'Majoam'.

Ficus carica 'Little Miss Figgy' is a natural mutation of the 'Violette de Bordeaux' variety, discovered in 2010 by Michael Nobles in his garden in South Carolina, and later patented.

The fruit stands out for its special, sweet-aromatic taste and intense, almost black color. The fruit's skin is of medium thickness and pleasantly fragrant, and the yield is high. The fruits ripen throughout the July-September period. Branching can be encouraged by cutting back the tips.

Garden hardiness. It withstands down to -20°C without significant losses. Hardiness increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches thicken. It is recommended to protect the plants in the first years by wrapping them with microporous foil (frost protection foil, Agril-type foil, etc.). Frost damage in fig trees affects the above-ground parts - but the root remains alive, and the plant regrows in spring.

Resistance to diseases and pests. Fig trees are considered ‘pest free’.

Parthenocarpic variety - it is self-fertile and does not require a pollinator.
