Savanac Noire Fig Cutting

Type: Common Fig (Does Not Require Pollination)

About This Variety

Savanac Noire is an extremely rare French fig variety discovered by Thierry Demarquest of Figues du Monde growing on a cliff in the Lot region of France. Its unusual origin and outstanding fruit quality have helped make it a highly sought-after variety among collectors.

This variety is known for producing clusters of beautiful figs with blue-green skin and a rich dark red interior. When fully ripened on the tree, the fruit develops exceptional sweetness, dense texture, and outstanding flavor that has earned it a devoted following among fig enthusiasts.

Savanac Noire produces a single main crop of medium-sized figs. The flavor is rich and berry-forward with excellent sweetness and a dense, jam-like texture that develops when the fruit is allowed to fully ripen on the tree.

The tree is vigorous, productive, and capable of producing reliable harvests once established. Its combination of rarity, collector appeal, excellent berry flavor, and fascinating discovery story has made it one of the more intriguing French figs available today.

For growers seeking a rare fig with a unique history, excellent cold tolerance, and outstanding fruit quality, Savanac Noire is an excellent addition to any collection.

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.

• 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.
