Black Copedi Fig Tree

This fig is truly a beauty! Despite its name suggesting a black fruit, the fig actually ripens to a greenish-grey colour, a tone often described as “grey” in fig varieties.

This variety can take a couple of years to begin producing fruit, but the wait is well worth it. Once established, it produces large, round figs filled with beautiful amber to pink flesh.

The fruit features a medium-sized eye (ostiole) and tends to hang downward as it ripens. These natural characteristics help improve resistance to splitting and spoilage, making it a reliable fruit for the garden.

The flesh is moderately sweet with a smooth texture, offering a rich flavour profile with notes of sugar and caramel. It also has a pleasant medium seed crunch, and the sweetness is well balanced rather than overpowering, giving the fruit an excellent overall flavour.
