A self-pollinating, drought-tolerant (once established) deciduous tree that produces exceptionally large, deep purple sweet figs. Rich green foliage casts dense shade and stands out against smooth, gray bark. Intensely sweet fruit ripens for harvest from June until September and must be harvested regularly to protect from birds. This variety can be kept small with regular pruning and does well as a container plant.
