Popone Fig
Popone figs hail from Tuscany and are native to Elba Island. You can recognize this rare variety by its stunning green and yellow stripes while growing on the tree. The stripes tend to fade as Popone ripens, so take that as a sign that your figs are getting ready to be harvested and enjoyed. Ripe figs will bear a green/yellow/brown skin. They may even exhibit a curve to their long bodies like you would see on a butternut squash.

Bite into Popone and you will find a long, large interior covered by medium thickness skin. The flesh is a light red or peachy color and the flavor is sweet and sugary. Some have noted hints of berry flavor and an overall more complex flavor as the tree continues to mature.
Popone is a bifera fig, meaning that it produces both a breba and a main crop. The main crop is generally late ripening, but don’t worry—you will have plenty of brebas to snack on in the meantime. The eye on Popone figs is usually tight, protecting them against pests and birds—more good news for fig growers. Try Popone for yourself today.

When do we ship cuttings?
Non-Rooted Cuttings(November/December):
We begin to ship cuttings once the trees are dormant and in a shippable state. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in November. Shipping continues throughout the winter and early spring. We stop shipping when the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March.
**All non-rooted cuttings ship between November and March regardless of the date selected during checkout. Orders placed during our pre-sale period(October/November) will ship out first in November/December. If you are rooting your cuttings in the spring, our cuttings can be kept in the refridgerator until you are ready to root them. They will be perfectly fine. That is what we do and they've turned into our most impressive trees.
Rooted Cuttings(Spring):
We begin shipping rooted cuttings once they are mature enough to ship. The shipping period typically begins late April and continues into June. Regardless of the date you select during checkout, we will ship when ready during that span. Please do not ask for ETA's or specific arrival dates. You will receive an email when your order ships with UPS Ground tracking details.
