Capoll Curt Negra is a Spanish fig cultivar prized for its vigorous growth, abundant productivity, and extended fruiting season. This self-fertile variety develops a rounded, densely leafy canopy that provides as much visual appeal as it does fruit. The figs themselves are medium to large with a distinctive pear-like shape and soft skin, making them both striking on the tree and delightful to eat fresh. Spanish growers have long valued this variety for its reliability and consistent yields throughout the growing season.

The canopy fills in with impressive density, creating a fountain of foliage punctuated by dark, pear-shaped figs that ripen continuously from mid-season onward. The soft skin yields easily to your fingers when ripe, and the texture inside is tender without any seed crunch to interrupt the eating experience. Capoll Curt Negra rewards patient growers with prolific production year after year, thriving wherever conditions allow figs to flourish.
These figs are grown primarily for fresh eating, where their soft skin and tender interior shine. The pear-like shape makes them distinctive on the table, and their seedless texture (lacking seed crunch) appeals to those who prefer eating figs without the textural interruption of seeds. The extended fruiting season means a long harvest window throughout the year, providing fresh fruit over an extended period rather than a concentrated burst.

Harvest figs when they are fully colored (dark), slightly soft to the touch, and the skin yields gently to pressure from your fingers. Mid-season ripening through the extended fruiting season means you'll have a long window to pick fruit as it matures. The pear-like shape becomes more pronounced as figs ripen, so look for that characteristic morphology as a visual cue of maturity. Simply twist gently or snip with pruners to harvest without damaging the branch.
Capoll Curt Negra's rounded growth habit and dense branching benefit from light pruning to maintain an open canopy and encourage air circulation. Prune in early spring before growth begins, removing any dead, crossing, or inward-growing branches. The variety's vigor means it responds well to shaping and can be trained to your preferred form. Heavier pruning will reduce fruiting in the short term but can rejuvenate older trees.
