Marot Fig Cutting

Type: Common Fig (Does Not Require Pollination)

About This Variety

Marot is an excellent French fig variety known for its large fruit size, outstanding flavor, and impressive cold hardiness. It is a highly desirable variety for growers looking to combine fruit quality with reliable performance in a wide range of climates.

This variety produces very large figs with an attractive teardrop shape, similar to varieties such as Stella. The fruit is known for its rich berry flavor, excellent sweetness, and dense texture, making it a favorite among growers who appreciate complex berry-flavored figs.

Unlike many premium berry figs, Marot is capable of producing both a breba crop and a main crop, giving growers the opportunity to enjoy multiple harvests throughout the season. The fruit quality remains excellent across both crops, with large, flavorful figs that are well worth the space in any collection.

Marot is also noted for its cold hardiness and adaptability. Combined with its vigorous growth, productivity, and exceptional fruit quality, it has become a valued variety among collectors and backyard growers alike.

For growers seeking large fruit, rich berry flavor, and dependable performance, Marot is an excellent choice.

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)

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.
