The Ficus carica 'Melanzana' Fig Tree is a classic Italian fig variety that makes a beautiful addition to any garden. This small fruit tree, with a height of 2-4 meters and a wide crown of up to 5 meters, has a characteristic appearance. The branches are not densely branched and curled, while the smooth, light gray bark gives the tree an elegant appearance.<\/p>\n
The leaves of 'Melanzana' are large (10-20 cm), leathery and rough, usually palmately divided into 3-5 lobes, sometimes simple, and have a bright green color. During the flowering period in June-July the flowers appear in green, fleshy, pear-shaped inflorescences of about 1 cm in size.<\/p>\n
The fruits of the 'Melanzana' have a pear-shaped to flat roundish shape and are dark purple in color, juicy and very tasty. They ripen from September to October and are a real treat for lovers of sweet fruits.<\/p>\n
The name 'Melanzana' is Italian for eggplant, because of the appearance of the fig. With its elongated shape and deep purple color, this fig does indeed look like an eggplant.<\/p>\n
