The White Madeira Fig, also known as White Madeira #1 or WM #1, is a premium Portuguese variety admired for its rich berry flavor, vibrant red flesh, and satisfying seed crunch. Originating from Madeira Island, this self-fertile and cold-hardy fig produces medium-sized fruit with green to yellow skin that sometimes develops fine cracks when perfectly ripe. The jammy texture and strawberry-like sweetness make it a favorite among collectors and home growers alike.
Thriving in USDA zones 8–10, White Madeira #1 is highly productive and ripens late in the season, typically from late August through October. Its balance of sweetness, texture, and subtle acidity gives it remarkable depth of flavor, often compared to strawberry jam or candy. Easy to grow and generous in yield, this variety brings both color and complexity to any fig collection — a perfect choice for those who appreciate figs with character and intensity.
