Donated to Diggers by Cheryl Dingle, a Diggers member from regional Victoria. Cheryl's tree came from a cutting from a farm in Alexandra, and was reported to have been brought into Australia by a Spanish or Italian immigrant in the late 1800s. Cheryl named it 'The Heart Fig' after the distinctive heart-shaped leaf, and described it as 'the Rolls Royce of figs'. Once we tasted it, we couldn't agree more! Delicious sweet fruit with a thin skin that means you can eat the fruit whole. You'll NEVER see this one at the supermarket!

Samuel O. ★★★★★

This fig variety has lovely purple-toned leaves that really stand out in the garden. I appreciate that it comes from a cutting with some history behind it, feels like planting a piece of Victoria's heritage.

George H. ★★★★★

Planted this in a sunny spot and it’s already pushing out new growth after just two weeks. The cutting was healthy and firm, with a nice root system. Perfect for anyone looking to add a tough, heritage fig variety to their garden.

Joseph Q. ★★★★★

The cutting rooted quickly and is already pushing out new leaves, which I wasn't expecting so soon. The fact it has a documented history from a Diggers member's farm in Alexandra makes it feel like a piece of living heritage. I'm excited to see how the purple heart figs turn out next season.
