Black Zadar - It’s #92 on the old Belleclare list. I have a mature one in 20 gal pot that's a direct descendant from an original Belleclare tree. Belleclare’s list states, “A large flat, round fig. Thick skin, large eye, blood red center, heavy filling fig, from Zadar, Croatia. This one’s unique, a stand-out.”
It’s suppose to be flat and turn jet-black. Here in NYC it does not. Maybe because it’s in a pot or out of its element. Don’t know. But, it will produce 2 crops of heavy, filling figs for us. Definitely not the best looking ripe fig either. Sweet, (very) complex taste with melon undertones. Slow grower. Not as slow as Black Madeira, but slow nonetheless. Air-layers very well; has 2 hanging on it now. Great fig for jam. Looking to trade mine. If there's any interest PM me.
Dave, this is your thread. If you want me to take down trade let me know.
