3 Live Plants Beer's Black Dwarf Fig Tree Ficus carica Cold Hardy Compact

Beer's Black Dwarf Fig is a compact, cold-hardy fig variety valued for its sweet, dark-skinned fruit and manageable size, making it a fine choice for containers, small gardens, and patio growing.
This fig produces richly flavored fruit with deep reddish-black skin and amber to red flesh, excellent for fresh eating, preserves, and drying.
