Black Madeira Fig Late October Update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Black Madeira continues to form new fruit while still ripening several nice fruits for us late in the year. I believe in a warmer climate, this could produce fruits continuously. Unfortunately, ever winter we have many unripe fruits that eventually fall off in the winter. We have another Black Madeira in our high tunnel (unheated greenhouse) in hopes we can extend our season for this variety.
When you took a bite out of those figs my mouth started drooling!
you know its a good variety when Harvey goes on a figgy frenzy :)
Enjoy your figs,They look very good ! I'll take the one the bird left behind..
My black madeira kk is fully loaded and still producing also ii grow it indoors and its about a foot tall from its root.. The first fig exploded not split but boom 💣 lol i definitely gotta cut back on watering... Your kk fig has so much syrup i can't wait for my figs to do the same
I'm trying to get a couple of varieties for my area. I'm in zone 9b florida. So it's warm until January. I'll have to order some from you this January.
Hi there, I live in zone 8b and was wondering if grafting a Black Madeira or say an I258 to a Brown Turkey in the same way you've done would ensure the plant keeps the hardiness of a Brown Turkey and allow the tree to become a perennial in my area. Or is that too simplistic a thought process? Unsure where you're based Just found your videos and enjoy the few I've seen so far!
Harvey, have you noticed any difference in ripening times between the grafted and non grafted black madeiras. I’m wondering if rootstock can effect ripening times on figs.
I have not. I have them side by side for quite a number of years now and don't really see any difference in the fruiting results except for a larger harvest on the larger grafted tree.
I have a warm climate here in Florida. Do you sell that variety? Or know where I can purchase one?
We will sell this and about 300 other varieties again in January at www.figaholics.com/cuttings.htm Thanks for watching.
Great thank you
How about the portuguese fig that in the USA is called "Craven's Craven". Is is also the same as Black Madeira?
I've thought that is a distinct possibility, but mine has grown slowly and hasn't fruited yet for me to compare. What are your thoughts?
@@Figaholics I don't have the fig tree and I didn't taste the fig. From what I saw on the Internet, it looks the same both outside and inside, and I don't know any other portuguese fig that looks like it, other than Figo Preto. One of the things some say is they say it grows faster than black madeira, but for you it has grown slowly, so I think it is people's imagination or some trees of the same variety grow faster for many reasons and some trees of the same variety can also taste a little diferent for many reasons and even fig from the same tree can be bigger and taste a little different too. It also might be a naturally occorrence mutation from the original black madeira, but most probably is the same as black madeira. That's what I think.
@@Figaholics Also, I didn't want to say this, but in some cases the new names with the promise of being better than the original, might not be just people's imagination, it might be to be able to sell cuttings at very high insane prices. Sorry to say this but you know how reality can be.
I suspect this is sometimes the case, but don't really have any opinion on when as I am poor at reading minds. I have only given a name to one unknown fig and have never sold it. It's probably Black Mission and I named it after my uncle's family's former property (largest fig tree around here).
Is it Black Mediera KK variety?
I don't believe in the use of the names of strains associated with Black Madeira. See my comments on this matter at facebook.com/Figaholics/posts/1506696739390734
Zone 9b Riverside Ca. Just subscribed which fig variety do you recommend for my climate?
That is a great climate for growing all of the varieties we show. I suggest you try a few different types to see what flavor profiles you prefer.
What a Small world same here but I could’ve sworn we were zone 10A maybe in 5 years we got that much warmer 😂
are figo preto and black madeira the same variety ?
I believe these as well as Violeta are the same variety and explain this on our figaholics.com web site and may even another video.
@@Figaholics Okay, thanks for the information, success always for you.
Do u have fresh cutting of black madiera
Not at this time, we only sell cuttings around January and maybe into early February. You can follow at www.figaholics.com for updates.
Do you sell Black Maderia fig? If so, where can I order?
We will have cuttings for sale again in January at figaholics.com
Can I buy a couple of Black Madeira clippings from you?
We offer cuttings for sale in the winter when our trees are dormant. We plan to sell cuttings once again in January 2022 at www.figaholics.com. We sold out in one week last winter with some varieties selling out in the first hour.
@@Figaholics will check with you then, thanks.

A little south of Sacramento, California
I'm in Marysville. What figs grow good here and can I get any cuttings from you?
Do you have to chew like that. Lol
