Details
Madeira Island Black (MIB) is a fig variety that originally comes from Portugal. It became popular among fig growers when KK introduced this variety. MIB is often compared to Madeira Black because while they have many similarities, MIB is said to be a more vigorous grower, to produce larger figs, and to produce figs with a more balanced and pleasing flavor. Growers who have stuck with MIB for a few years have seen the fig ripen much earlier than Madeira Black, experience less die back over winters, and have ranked it among the top in their collections.

When do we ship cuttings?
Non-Rooted Cuttings(November/December):
We begin to ship cuttings once the trees are dormant and in a shippable state. Exact timing is weather dependent, but we usually start in November. Shipping continues throughout the winter and early spring. We stop shipping when the trees begin to break dormancy, normally around mid-March.
**All non-rooted cuttings ship between November and March regardless of the date selected during checkout. Orders placed during our pre-sale period(October/November) will ship out first in November/December. If you are rooting your cuttings in the spring, our cuttings can be kept in the refridgerator until you are ready to root them. They will be perfectly fine. That is what we do and they've turned into our most impressive trees.
Rooted Cuttings(Spring):
We begin shipping rooted cuttings once they are mature enough to ship. The shipping period typically begins late April and continues into June. Regardless of the date you select during checkout, we will ship when ready during that span. Please do not ask for ETA's or specific arrival dates. You will receive an email when your order ships with UPS Ground tracking details.
