A common fig with genuine season-spanning productivity, Mavra Sika needs only full sun and suitable growing conditions to produce fruit reliably. Self-fertility means you don't need a second tree to enjoy harvests. Its ability to fruit across multiple seasons rather than in a single flush gives home gardeners extended opportunities to pick ripe figs throughout the growing year.

Pick figs when they fully mature and soften slightly to the touch, as this indicates peak ripeness and sugar content. Ripe figs will often show a slight color deepening and may weep a small drop of nectar at the base. Harvest regularly throughout the fruiting season to encourage continued production.
Prune Mavra Sika Fig lightly to maintain an open canopy and remove any dead or crossing branches. Since this variety fruits across seasons, avoid heavy pruning that would eliminate fruiting wood. Shape the tree as needed during dormancy, but allow it to develop naturally for maximum productivity.
