Unknown Blackberry Fig

Unknown Blackberry pulp can range from pink to a deeper purple–possibly due to growing conditions and pollination. It is a confirmed common variety that has had successful growth on the east coast of the US. The most notable thing about these figs is the unique blackberry flavor. It is time to pick Unk Blackberry when the skin is slightly wrinkled and the pulp is thick and jammy. When dried on the tree, the pulp becomes like fruit leather. The mix of blackberry and blueberry flavors gives this a distinct taste from other berry figs. Unk Blackberry is also a highly productive variety. While younger trees seem to produce many small figs, the original source, Eleazar Farms, has pictured large teardrop shaped figs. This is likely a fig that gets better over time and the unknown may have been established for many years before it was discovered on Eleazar Farm’s California ranch. Unknown Blackberry produces a breba and a main crop and is a cold hardy variety.

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 refrigerator 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.
