Paratjal Rimada Fig Tree

Discover a beautiful and flavorful Spanish fig variety with the Paratjal Rimada — known for its striking striped skin and complex taste. Grown from cuttings at Red Rock Orchard in the high desert of southern Utah, this variety performs well in arid conditions similar to your own backyard or orchard.

Fruit Characteristics

• Skin: Green with yellow stripes when young, ripening to deep purple-reddish tones with subtle or fading variegation. Ornamental and eye-catching.
• Flesh: Deep red to dark raspberry-red, dense and jammy with excellent texture.
• Flavor: Rich and complex — sweet berry notes with hints of grape, cherry, honey, and subtle citrus. Often described as jammy and gourmet-quality.
• Size: Medium to large (around 40–80g), with good productivity.

Tree & Growth This self-fertile, common-type fig is vigorous and productive, typically yielding a main crop with some breba potential in favorable conditions. The tree reaches 8–15 ft with pruning and has a spreading habit. It shows good adaptability to warmer, drier climates and is suitable for in-ground or container growing.

At Red Rock Orchard, we propagate these from healthy, desert-tested stock to ensure strong root systems and resilience to alkaline soils and arid conditions. Expect reliable fruiting in 1–2 years with proper care.

Care Highlights

• Full sun
• Well-drained soil; moderately drought-tolerant once established
• Self-fertile – no pollinator needed
• Good rain resistance with some cracking possible in heavy moisture
• USDA Zones 7–10
