Die Black Mission Feige kommt von den USA Kalifornien. Bereits 1768 kultivierten Franziskaner Missionare die Black Mission:

The Mission fig (also known as Black Mission or Franciscana) is a popular variety of the edible fig (Ficus carica). It was first introduced to what is now the United States in 1768 when Franciscan missionaries planted it in San Diego. It was also planted in the subsequent missions that the Franciscans established up the California coast. Gustav Eisen writes, „The early padres and missionaries in the Pacific coast States cultivated no other variety of fig“. It later became the main commercial variety planted throughout California. The Mission fig was later surpassed by the Sari Lop fig (also known as Calimyrna) as the most popular commercial fig variety grown in California. Quelle: wikipedia
