Sicilian Red Fig Tree
The Sicilian Red Fig Tree is a prized Italian variety known for its deep red to purple exterior and vibrant red interior. Also called Sal’s Corleone, Aldo’s Palermo Red, and Weeping Black Fig, this heirloom fig traces its origins back to Sicily, where it has been cherished for generations. Producing medium-sized, incredibly juicy figs, this variety offers a rich berry-like flavor with a hint of sweetness, making it perfect for fresh eating, drying, or preserves. The fruit ripens in mid-summer, providing an early harvest of delicious figs. The Sicilian Red Fig is well-suited for both in-ground planting and container growing, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, patios, or urban spaces. When grown in pots, it remains manageable in size while still yielding abundant fruit. With proper care, this fig tree thrives in warm climates but can also be overwintered indoors in cooler regions. Whether you’re a dedicated fig collector or a backyard gardener looking for a unique and flavorful variety, the Sicilian Red Fig Tree is a must-have addition to your garden.
