Generi Fig

The Generi Fig, often synonymous with Genovese-style figs, is an Italian heirloom variety prized for its large, dark-skinned fruit, bold flavor, and robust production. With dense, jammy flesh and a rich berry-honey taste, it’s a favorite for fresh eating, drying, and high-end fig preserves.

Ideal for warm-climate growers, Mediterranean-inspired gardens, and small farms looking to offer figs with authentic old-world flavor and market appeal.
