Planet Fig Collection

Marcello Finocchiaro is the man behind Planet Fig and his website is not often mentioned in the fig community. This may be due to the limited number of varieties mentioned on its website. But for what Planet Fig lacks in breadth, it makes up in depth. Growing figs in high elevations and latitude has its challenges. Planet Fig seeks to evaluate fig varieties that will prove successful in the Northern Alps of Haute-Savoie, France, close to the canton of Geneva, Switzerland. Though less than a dozen varieties are evaluated on Planet Fig, the details provided on each of those varieties is extensive.

Some of the Planet Fig Collection varieties we grow are Violette de Bordeaux, Pastiliere, Di Tre Volte, Desert King, and Dalmatie.
