Fig 'Petite Nigra' (Ficus carica). 'Petite Nigra' is an amazing fruiting fig that produces medium sized plump black juicy figs at a young age. This impressive fig is perfect for the indoor or patio gardener since it starts fruiting when plants are less than 12" tall. 'Petite Nigra' is an ornamental beauty as well since the mitten-shaped green leaves make a lovely backdrop for the ripening deep purple fruit. Grow in full sun on a windowsill or outside in warm temperatures. If growing conditions are kept warm, it will hold its foliage year-round. Under cool temperatures, the plant will drop its leaves and go dormant until temperatures warm up. Hardy to Zone 8 and higher for outdoors. Full sun, grows to 2-3' in container, minimum temperature indoors 30°, summer bloomer.
