(Ficus) Fig Nero del Portogallo

£40.00
A very old variety from Portugal, reputedly the area around Lisbon, which then spread in poularity and was well-known in Italy. Large, dark purple brown fruit with a honey and syrup flavour, absolutely divine. Needs the protection of a greenhouse or polytunnel to crop well in all but the warmest UK gardens, but so worth the effort!
