Fig - Ficus carica 'Ronde de Bordeaux' - Clear Stem 80-90cm - Height 160-170cm - 10lt

Ficus carica ‘Ronde de Bordeaux’ is an excellent fig variety for home gardens, valued for its hardiness, compact size, and reliably sweet fruit. This cultivar produces small to medium, dark purple figs with rich, jam-like flesh. It is known for bearing early—often among the first figs to ripen—making it a great option for gardeners in cooler or shorter-summer climates who want consistent harvests.

Its naturally small stature and dense growth habit make ‘Ronde de Bordeaux’ particularly suitable for limited spaces, patio gardens, or training as an espalier. The tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, it shows good drought tolerance. Its vigour allows it to adapt to a range of soil types, provided drainage is adequate.

One of the standout qualities of this variety is its cold resilience. It is considered hardier than many figs, enabling successful cultivation in regions where winter temperatures drop lower than ideal. Because it is self-fertile, it doesn’t require a companion variety for fruit set.

Overall, ‘Ronde de Bordeaux’ is a dependable, low-maintenance fig tree that offers ornamental beauty, manageable size, and superb fruit making it a versatile and rewarding choice for many gardens.
