Allentown Black
Allentown Black
Allentown Black is an American heirloom fig that traces its roots to eastern Pennsylvania, where it was preserved by local growers before gradually finding its way into the hands of collectors. Though its exact origins remain unknown, the variety has built a reputation for dependable production, excellent cold tolerance, and consistently high-quality fruit, making it especially well suited to the northeastern United States. Its combination of vigor and outstanding flavor has made it a favorite among growers looking for a premium dark fig that ripens reliably in shorter seasons.
The small to medium fruit matures to a deep purple-black skin surrounding a vibrant strawberry-red interior. At peak ripeness, Allentown Black delivers a rich blend of blackberry preserves, ripe raspberry, black cherry, and classic fig sweetness. A pleasant touch of berry-like acidity adds brightness and balance, while the dense, silky pulp creates a smooth, jam-like texture that melts in the mouth. The finish is long, clean, and deeply satisfying, showcasing the bold berry character that has earned this variety a devoted following among fig enthusiasts.
