Conde Fig Cutting

Type: Common Fig (Does Not Require Pollination)

About This Variety

Conde is a rare French fig variety discovered in Southwest France along the Garonne River and later introduced to the modern fig community by Thierry Demarquest of Figues du Monde.

This variety produces a single early crop of figs. The fruit ranges from small to medium in size and is highly regarded for its rich berry flavor and excellent sweetness. The figs feature attractive purple skin and a tightly closed eye, helping them perform well in humid and cooler climates.

Conde is particularly valued for its cold tolerance and adaptability, making it a great choice for growers in a wide range of environments. Its early ripening habit allows growers in shorter-season regions to enjoy reliable harvests before cooler weather arrives.

With its combination of berry flavor, closed eye, attractive appearance, and rarity, Conde has become a sought-after variety among collectors and fig enthusiasts.

Recommended Growing Zones

USDA Zones 5-10

Don’t let the growing zones discourage you. Fig trees can be successfully grown in containers and many growers enjoy fresh figs well outside the recommended zones. Growing in a pot allows you to move the tree to a protected location during winter and control its size. With proper care and winter protection, many fig varieties can be grown and fruited outside their listed growing zones.

You Will Receive

• One unrooted fig cutting
• Approximately 6-8 inches long
• Minimum of 3 buds (nodes)
• Thickness will typically range from Sharpie-marker size or larger unless otherwise noted in the listing
• Taken from a healthy, mature tree

Seasonal Appearance

During the winter months, cuttings will typically be fully dormant.

During the fall, cuttings may still be lignified (hardened woody growth) and may not yet be fully dormant. This is normal and does not affect their ability to root.

Wood color, thickness, bud spacing, and appearance will naturally vary from cutting to cutting. Certain varieties naturally produce thinner or thicker wood than others.

Rooting Instructions

Rooting instructions are included in the listing photos. Please review them before purchasing.

Propagation Disclaimer

Rooting success depends on many factors including temperature, humidity, rooting method, growing medium, sanitation, and grower experience.

While fig cuttings are generally considered easy to propagate, no rooting success can be guaranteed. Even experienced growers may experience occasional losses.

Most growers can expect a rooting success rate of approximately 60% to 80% under proper conditions. Individual results may vary.

Because rooting conditions are beyond our control after delivery, we cannot offer refunds, replacements, or credits for cuttings that fail to root.
