Description
Margarita is an established dessert fig variety with Greek island roots, best known from a mature, inground tree on the island of Corfu that has fruited reliably for more than a decade. The fruit typically appears medium-sized, with a skin that ranges from light green to golden-bronze as it ripens under hot summer sun. When fully mature, the interior presents a rich, red to strawberry-hued pulp that is juicy and jammy. Growers describe the flavor as sweet with restrained acidity, leaning toward bright berry complexity rather than pure honey sweetness — a combination that makes it excellent for fresh eating and also suitable for on-tree drying.

I wasn’t able to make it to OGW’s Fig Fest last weekend, but I did manage to talk the Figologist out of a few of his precious Margarita Main crop that he had left over.
This fig EASILY moves into elite company among the very best Adriatics I’ve ever tasted. Wow. Like fruit punch… berries and plum with a perfect sweetness level. This one is a winner.
A note from the grower/founder:
“Margarita is named for my Grandmother. This fig is as deeply beautiful as she was, with a sweet and complex character. The limbs are graceful and flexible. A gorgeous dancer in the wind, like Margarita herself. This tree was grown from cuttings of my Grandfather’s fig tree from Kassiopi, Kerkyra, Greece. May they bring you years of joy and abundance!”
