Black Manzanita
Black Manzanita is a rare California fig discovery from the San Francisco Bay Area, originating from a decades-old tree believed to be a naturally occurring seedling. Shared among collectors for its unique appearance and exceptional flavor, this variety has quickly become one of the most exciting modern California fig introductions.
Medium-sized fruit develops extremely dark skin surrounding a deep burgundy-black interior. The flesh is remarkably thick, sticky, and jam-like, becoming wonderfully syrupy when allowed to fully ripen on the tree. Its flavor is rich and concentrated, with notes of blackberry jam, dark fruit, and classic fig sweetness balanced by a subtle complexity.
Black Manzanita produces a small breba crop followed by a reliable main crop. The vigorous tree is a productive common (self-fertile) fig and does not require fig wasp pollination to set fruit. Its combination of unusual dark coloring, dense texture, and outstanding flavor makes it a standout choice for collectors seeking a truly unique California selection.
