Thanks, levar.

I may be in a "proper fig country" has you say, but i live near the Atlantic coast and the local climate is quite humid and not very hot in the summer. I hope i have enought heat to mature the excellent Algarve varieties and some of Montserrat Pon's Islas Baleares varieties that need long summers to mature properly.

I managed to get my hands on some and maybe next year i will find out if i have what it takes to be able to appreciate them over here.

Meanwhile, my cuttings from 2015 matured quite nicely. I hope i can taste some figs from them, this summer.

   

Fair enough, but I come from Miami, a place with the absolute opposite of ideal climatic conditions:

 

I'm in what is literally called a "Tropical Monsoon" climate. To me, Caldas da Rainha might as well be Turkey.

Regardless of that, I grow pretty great tasting figs - even without blastophaga.

Definitely keep us updated on your experiments. 

Must be an old chart. I live in South Florida and 2015 has seen more days of 90 degree temperatures in Oct., Nov. and Dec. than I have ever seen before. All humid days with precipitation above normal.

Jsacadura What variety is this tree that you have? 

 

Dave,

It's a very old local variety that i think is Figo Preto de Torres Novas (that was very common and much appreciated in this region - now very few people have this variety over here). I have other younger trees that probably are of the same variety, that produce a slightly larger fig, but the figs from this particular tree have the best flavor of them all. The tree is even older that i tough - it was planted by the grandfather of my wife and has at least 60 years.

A couple of years ago i even bought a tree of that variety, that i found on a remote nursery near Torres Novas, to confirm it, but i am still waiting for some figs - maybe this year.

Here's some photos of the tree with figs (end of August): 
                

Jsacadura Thank you very much for the pictures it reminds me of my "Belleclare Italian everbearing Sport" it is also a very rare tree mine has the same weeping branches as your tree when my tree has fruit on it the limbs bend straight down like your tree

     

Over the last few years i have been cutting the taller branches so we could reach the figs more easily. Until now the birds got most of the crop. Now we can place a net over the entire tree. 
I cannot cut more because most of the branches come from the top and "weep" all the way to the ground

Nice fig. The branches are similar, but the leaves and the fig are different. Most of the leaves on my tree are 1 or 3 lobed. I don't think it as any with leaves with 5 lobes like yours.
