Stella

Stella is a classic green-skinned Adriatic-type fig believed to have originated in Italy before making its way to the United States, where it was preserved and shared by collectors in the Pacific Northwest. Although its exact history has been passed down largely through collector accounts, Stella has earned a lasting reputation for exceptional flavor, dependable production, and reliable performance across a wide range of climates.

The medium to large fruit ripens with bright green to yellow-green skin surrounding a vibrant strawberry-red interior. When allowed to fully mature on the tree, Stella develops a rich, jammy flavor reminiscent of strawberry preserves, ripe raspberries, and mixed berries, balanced by refreshing acidity that keeps the fruit lively and complex. The dense flesh and satisfying seed crunch make it an outstanding fresh-eating fig.

A common (persistent) fig, Stella ripens without pollination and is valued for its vigorous growth, reliable productivity, and ability to produce both an early breba crop and a generous main crop under favorable conditions. Widely admired among collectors, Stella remains one of the finest green-skinned berry figs for growers seeking exceptional flavor paired with dependable performance.
