This is my first ripe Yellow Serbian. Eye is fairly open and probably prone to splitting. Taste was sweet with berry tones.

Looks nice, Jason, congrats!

Jason where did you get yours from?

Jason, its one of the best here for this season to-date. Let it ripen a little more and man, the flavor is great, especially on the last bite. I am certain the perfect hot weather played a critical role during its ripening process. Slower to ripen but worth the wait as taste was superior. My tree is in-ground for the last 3 yrs with no winter protection. Produced well for brebas. We match this one to Aldo, Paradiso Gene, Paradiso Bronze, Paradiso Adriano, Dominican Swiss Italian, Osborne Prolific, Granthams Royal, Desert King, Shar Israel, Blk Ischia, P.Aubique, Filanciano, GM#1, Ruby 4, Conadria, Barbilonne, etc and both my wife and myself + 3 friends reckon only P.Aubique can match its high qualities. Rafed posted pictures recently under Yugoslavian Yellow. It is a productive variant here & we enjoyed its last breba on Wednesday. Main crop should ripen by late Sept. I air layered a nice branch for pot culture in the green house for next season. A must have for me.

Celt- I got this variant from some guy with way too many figs ;)

Paully22- You just gave this tree a trial extension. I was very concerned with the open eye.

Sounds great, paully thanks for adding in the bit of the weather bliss it got before it tasted so good. Cultural practice and weather are so key. Variety's always important, but I'd take a mid-tier variety ripened in dry heat any day over a top-tier variety ripened in shade or rain.

Jason, my tree is at least 5 yrs old and I wanted it gone from my collection. I am glad I
did not take the time to dig it out. The main reason I wanted it gone is that I have not been
able to harvest any figs from it. It produces a reasonable size breba crop but all gets aborted
due to fluctuations in weather temperature during spring. As for the main crop, it produces abundantly
but they never get to ripen. Hence I lost interest in this variant until THIS season when the spring
weather was warm. Fig abortion was like any other normal fig and we got more than enough figs to share
with friends due to its the excellent taste. Since I have the green house for the 1st season, an
air layer in the pot will allow me some measure of control to ensure I get to enjoy its brebas &
main crop next year. My in-ground tree is at least 3 times the size of your tree. Also the age of the tree may
be a factor in giving the fig a better taste. We find the taste complex and man, it sure beats whatever fig we
sampled at time of harvest.

Greetings! I am new to the forum and am amazed at the network of folks all sharing a common interest in figs! I am of Croatian origin and would love to obtain specimens of figs from the old homeland. I have been looking around with limited success and am inquiring if any forum members have available for sale either plants or cuttings from any of the Croatian, Serbian or Yugoslav origin figs such as the Yugoslav Black, Yellow, Serbian Yellow, Petrovka, etc. as mentioned in numerous threads regarding figs originating from that area. If so, please text or email me with details.... 

Thanks,
Tony

Good luck in your quest! I hope you manage to build a good collection. Dalmatie is Croatian too btw.

Thank you, Devin!

You are welcome!

A fig researcher named Dan said he believes that Smith fig is of Croatian origins.He aso said he believes Smith and Texas BA-1 is same fig.
