Does anyone know anything about this variety please? I can't find any info on it.

Only thing I could find is a flat type of bread from Hungary and the Balkans ,could come from that(as in the shape looks similar?),maybe it's another Hungarian variety like your Babits?

Maybe Jurrasic plants could tell you more?,they have some unusual varieties

Yes,that was all I could find. I did email Jurassic plants but not yet heard back. They seem very friendly so I am sure that I will hear back eventually, they have been in touch on other questions.

It is a Hungarian fig nickname... The word is also in Hungarian... Pogácsa is a name of a small flat potato bread.

Actually it is not one variety... It refers only to the shape of the fruit.... For example the Györöki Lapos is one of this kind.

I have one variety that I got under the name of Brown Plate... It is also a pogácsa kind...

Aaaah! Thank you so much for that information Helike. Now I have even more of a mystery! It is only a small plant just now, so I will have to wait until it fruits. As far as I know it gets red brown fruits.

Reminded me the good Hungarian bakeries before morning lectures.

Those warm pogacs are a treat.

Glad that mystery has be cleared up(not so much,but at least you know it's probably Hungarian so that's a start), have you found much out about Nero del Portogallo,Della Signora, Sultane,brown Italian or fingered giant? Ice I am confident could turn out to be Ice Crystal-you will have to wait and see.You seem to have bought Jurassic plants entire fig collection,the reason I didnt(other than money) is because I hadn't heard of the varieties and wasn't sure how they would do further north

They do sound good elin, I would love to try one, maybe I will look for recipes, :)

Yes haslamhulme, I got a good deal by buying a lot at one time, saved on postage too. Nero del Portogallo and Sultane, I found a bit of info on this forum. Della Signora is italian. The others may be too but waiting for info from jurassic plants. They are growing and propagating them in Wales, so I thought that I might have a chance. It is surprising what does flourish here. Many plants will survive if planted in the right spot and are protected from too much moisture.

I think that my polytunnel is going to help. I also have a little greenhouse, nearer to my house, that has a heater to provide frost protection. It is also near a stone built shed that seems to offer protection and, I suspect, acts somewhat as a heatsink. Even without heat it stays a few degrees warmer than the polytunnel. Whilst the plants are smaller, they will overwinter in the greenhouse. Once I can propagate them and get duplicates, I will experiment, leaving some in the tunnel, standbys in the greenhouse and some in the ground in sheltered locations.

That is the plan but as we know, the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley...

Sounds like you have a good set up.Position is key in cooler climate,I've got my Jerusalem fig in the corner of the porch,south facing,near the wall and protected from the wind,it's put on more growth in 2 months than my BT has put on in 2 years in the back garden against a west facing wall.My plan is like you to have duplicated,one in ground tree down the allotment and one potted at home.Im not quite as far north as you so winter protection not really needed for hardy varieties.BT survived well during a couple of really bad winters outside,didn't even bother it being buried in snow,can't be bothered with protecting like some folk do,it's survival of the fittest for the local conditions in my garden.

Another issue here,and perhaps more important is the lack of heat and sun,although I'm technically the same zone as like Florida or something due to the fact that winter temps done get that cold most years,we just don't get the same heat and sun hours,top that off with wet weather and it's almost a if we were a few zones lower in terms of ripening figs.I think going for the cold hardiest,short season figs is the way to go,if they can survive the worst cold and ripen fruit in sub optimum conditions then anything better than the worst nature can throw at the plant should result in even tastier figs sooner,can't complain

Some years we get a surprising amount of sun here, not this year though! I wonder if day length affects anything? During June we get around 18 hours of daylight, just now it is around 15. The equinox is, I think, September 22 and midwinter the daylight diminishes to about 6 and a half hours but the figs are dormant then.

I am looking at, mainly, breba or very early main croppers. I find with a lot of plants they have good years and bad years and different cultivars thrive better than others.

Found a recipe! http://www.hungarianfoodguide.com/2013/01/pogacsa-real-hungarian-salty-bites.html

If you add smashed cooked potato to the dough much better :)

Oooh, thanks. I will try that next time I have leftover potatoes. I have made potato bread before which was good. I suppose that pogacsa will be one of those things that everyone has their own special recipe for. :)

Yes... I am ethnic Hungarian so I have my Grandma's recipe :) ... If you are addicted to the Hungarian bakery and you are a fan of BBQ you should graft these two and try to make kürtőskalács :)

I saw that when I was looking at Hungarian recipes. Looks yummy but we don't have many barbeques, still one day maybe! I am trying to stop myself eating all of the pogacsa that I made today. They are amazing, sooooo much nicer than scones. I will most certainly be looking for other Hungarian recipes.

Pogácsa here in Sardinia.
I have this variety (and some other extremely good varieties) thanks to a very generous hungarian collector.

It's a big and tasty black fig, showing beautiful double colors.
The pollination helps to improve the taste, but i'm sure it's very good also without it.

This variety was grafted last year with another one to make a double variety tree, and these are it's first fruits.
A courious thing is that has formed some figs on the year old wood in summer, and these fruits are thecnically brebas, that will ripen later than the main crop.
