Photos of plants are a representation of the plant (sometimes at full size) and not of the actual plant on offer.

We show you an image,so you can see what the variant of plant looks like.

It is fairly obvious that if we show you a picture of a large plant, but you select a small one, they will not be the same size.

Your selection of size will determine what size plant you receive based on the pot or planter size you selected. After making your selection using the drop down boxes, please visit the Additional Information Tab to see an estimate plant size based on the packaging dimensions.

Using planter size as size selector is standard practice in the Nursery Industry, as a retail-ready plant is a plant grown to size in the container it populates.

Our plants are always sourced from professional and reputable growers and our plants are of the best quality possible

Description

The Fig ‘Black Mission’ is a classic favorite—and for good reason. This deciduous fruit tree (Ficus carica ‘Black Mission’) is known for its deep purple to black skin, strawberry-pink flesh, and rich, honeyed flavor. It produces two crops per year: a Breba crop in early summer and a main crop in late summer to early autumn.

Here’s a quick care snapshot tailored for your nursery or client consultations:

Sunlight: Full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily).
Soil: Rich, well-drained soil with good organic content.
Watering: Moderate—keep soil moist but not soggy, especially during fruiting.
Size: Can reach 6–9 meters tall, but responds well to pruning for size control.
Hardiness: Best in zones 7–10; protect from frost in colder areas.
Fruit Use: Excellent fresh, dried, or in preserves. The skin often cracks when ripe, adding rustic charm.

It’s a great addition to edible landscapes, and with your knack for creative plant descriptions, you could highlight its Mediterranean heritage and ornamental foliage to appeal to both foodies and garden aesthetes.
