Fig - Beer's Black (Dwarf)
Ficus caricaUSDA Hardiness Zones: 7-10.
SKU: FIGBEE05GD
Description
Beer’s Black produces a medium size fruit and has that rich, sweet, buttery wholesomeness so sought after in a great fig. The fruit has a reddish-pink center and a violet exterior skin. Similar to Violette de Bordeaux, this is one of the best figs for eating and making preserves. Beer’s Black is self-pollinating, and it produces an early breba crop in the spring and then another crop of figs in the fall. Remember to grow in full sun, well-drained soil and dry out between watering. An exceptional fig for drying, but especially for fresh eating. A lovely addition to your potted container collection or plant directly into the ground in your outdoor garden space in zones 7-10.

How to Plant
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
