I have a friend from northern Greek region of Makedonia, not the country Macedonia.  He has a few figs, one that really caught my attention.
It's a white fig that produces long figs with deep red center. It's a little similar to Vasilika Sika but the leaves are a little different.

Thats a nice looking tree I love the leaves on that kinda reminds me of my brunswick a little? .... Cuttings?

Bass, does he protect (cover) the tree for the winter?

 Pete

He protects them by wrapping them.

Very nice! Love the leaves!!!

Hi Bass,it should be our STELLA ,  Stella has similar leaf as brunswick,but with different color inside.

Stella has red color inside .

Awesome leaves! Very pretty tree, did you have a chance to taste?

I had one in the summer, but didn't get a chance to take a picture.
sunriver it is very similar to Stella. 

the leaves remind me of that lady with gianourmous finger nails....wow, much nicier as a tree leaf though!

The leaves are really cool.

US Germaplasm has this fig under San Pietro name,as it is called in Italy,but this fig has many names Dalmatie, Stella White Greek,Vasilika Sika,and now Makedonian.
The most important is to have a healthy specimen,and my San Pietro died ,the third Winter in ground,due to Fig virus and harsh cold Winter.
I have a healthy Stella Now,and it produced more figs for it's size than any other cultivar ,this difficult Summer season here.

Beautiful Leaves !! Love the long fingers.

This really reminds me of the Colisanti #3 I have, it is a very vigorous grower and this year it seemed to put out really large figs with all the irrigation I did.  The leaves are from last year as most of the leaves are falling off as we speak, I planted it in the ground a couple weeks ago so we will see how it survives winter here.

I would love to see a section here that puts all the names of one fig together. This one seems to have 5 or 6. Each fig, seems to have many names and it would be nice to see all the names together. Keep each name, so we know which one suits are climate, but put them together to categorize.

Chivas:You can safely call your fig Dalmatie as this fig most scientist agree ,was first distributed to the world from the Dalmatian coast,what today is known as a land district, in Croatia.
MIne is planted in ground on an exposed to North east location,practically the coldest part of my backyard,but it receive good sun exposure,and was doing very well except growing fast.
It grows slow,but I would definitely worn you not to use fertilizer on this fig,except limestone mineral,powder or granulated,dolomitic or calcitic,all is good,except fertilizer like nitrogen.
In Fact if a fig tree grows 6 inches or more in one season,it does not need any fertilizer applied to the roots.
Because if done it will affect the fruits,as in Bland(bland tasting).
And the tree will lose cold hardness ,the wood will not mature properly to resist frost.
Limestone in places where soil is acidic ,needs to be liberally applied,and the results will be :
Flavorful fruits sweet,and perfumed.

How about pics from a ripe fruit?

My in ground trees get a handful of bone meal/blood meal mixed in about 18 gallons of medium and about 7 kilos of manure mixed into the soil that it is planted,  then after that I may give the slower ones 3 applications of fish fertiliser until july then stop, but that was more to try and overcome FMV which the VdB did so I think the healthy branches will survive and the weak branches will die over winter otherwise my plants in ground will never see fertilizer for a few years in the form of manure top dress, it seems we have quite a bit of limestone in our native soil so the lime for me hasn't been an issue.

Do you have any more photos of his dark fig besides the one showing on eBay?  You need to share info with us here!

Here's the white one from this summer.

Here's the Makedonia Dark... They were pretty good. The tree was loaded with ripe fig... They don't have the interesting leaves like the white one. 

Bass,

this is the same one you have going on ebay right now, right?

Thanks. Your listing doesn't mention breba figs...do you know if it produces them?

Meghan, Yes one of them.

Harvey, I know the white one does make brebas as he described them "the first one is like pears". The dark figs he didn't notice any. 

Bass, thanks for posting the pics of the Makedonian Dark I do have a small plant and was wondering what they looked like.

Glad you got one Nelson, the dark one is a little earlier than the white. It might do better up north.
