Description

Ficus carica 'GE Neri', commonly known as the Italian Fig 'GE Neri', is a compact, productive fig cultivar notable for its deep purple to nearly black fruit and excellent cold tolerance. It produces medium to large, sweet, richly flavored syconium (figs), making it ideal for fresh consumption or preserves. The plant is well-suited for small gardens, urban orchards, and containers due to its dwarfing habit and self-pollinating nature. Its origins trace back to Italy, where it has been selected for both flavor and adaptability to cooler climates. This cultivar is often appreciated for reliably producing two crops per year—a breba crop in early summer and a main crop in late summer.

Produces two crops annually (breba and main) with deep purple-black sweet fruit
Compact and cold-tolerant fig ideal for small gardens or containers
