Ficus carica 'Madeline des Deux Saisons'

We found these large, plump, brown figs with succulent pink flesh, reliably ripening on the cold and rainy coast of Brittany in France, where all other cultivars fail. They have proven to ripen each August in the Pacific Northwest. Also known as Angelica, this fig from the Anjou region is excellent eaten fresh, dried, or made into preserves.

It is called Madeleine of "two seasons" because it ripens not only the "breba" overwintering crop in August but also a fall crop in October which, like most other breba varieties, does not usually ripen in cool summer areas.

It will also do very well in warmer summer areas. Like many figs, in cold and damp climates it is susceptible to botrytis.

This variety is grown from tissue culture and has been heat-treated to significantly reduce the presence of Fig Mosaic Virus.

A happy little plant

The fig tree arrived end of April in great conditions. In less than three weeks the main stem showed first five little buds, then five little leaves, and then five little branches. I give it a lot of water every day because the soil is very dry here in Eastern Wahington. It looks now a happy little plant. Thank you!

Trying a new fig on WA's cold windy coast

Raintree's catalog suggests these figs grow on the "cold and rainy coast of Brittany," which is not unlike Washington's northern coast. I've tried Sultane figs, which failed, and Desert King, which developed a full root system but little above ground (which I discovered when I dug it up). I'm determined to grow a good fig, however, envy those in Oregon and southern WA who are succeeding, and am willing to give it another try with the Madeleine, which Raintree also says "succeeds where others fail." We'll see. As for the condition of the plant received: excellent, as per Raintree's usual high standard.
