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

Ficus carica 'Little Miss Figgy' - an exceptional, compact cultivar 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, and was discovered in 2010 by Michael Nobles in his garden in South Carolina, and was later patented.

The fruit is distinguished by its special, sweet-aromatic taste and intense, almost black color. The fruit peel is of medium thickness and pleasantly fragrant, and the productivity is high. The fruits ripen throughout the period July-September. Branching can be stimulated by cutting off the tops.

Garden resistance. Withstands up to -20°C without significant losses. Resistance increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches become thicker . It is recommended to protect the plants by covering them with microporous foil in the first years (anti-frost foil, Agril foil, etc.). Frost cases in Smochin involve damage to the aerial parts - but the root remains alive, and the plant enters vegetation again in the spring.

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

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