Beautiful! It seems the skin is very thin. I assume it is a Common too? This name, is that how a nursery calls it? |

Vlad, Marabout is a smyrna type, as you surely know. Andreas has posted on Facebook that Greco Nero is believed to be a common type. The Marabout in the video appear to all have much larger eyes than the Greco Nero. What do you mean about who is right? Is there a question somewhere? |

1. Harvey, eye figs can be increased due to excessive humidity and lots of wasps kaprifig. 2. Question to Adreasu. Have you checked the seeds of figs, figs are pollinated? |

Vlad, I have not seen eye size increase because of wasps unless the eye splits like in some of the figs in the video from the guy in Bulgaria. I have not heard of eye size increasing because of excess humidity but the figs in that video would likely have been spoiled if excess humidity was an issue since some were split. These figs do not appear the same, IMO. I don't recall the characteristic if Marabout at Wolfskill but the eye on all of my Marabout C. Smyrna are larger than any of the figs Andreas is showing. Humidity at my location is always low during the fig season. |

I don't have too much to add other than high humidity will increase eye size on some of my figs, Sodus Sicilian in particular. |

Harvey, my assumption based on the fact that I made inquiries a year ago, a man named -Georgy Goshev. His business is based on the resale of the plant material from Greece. In Bulgaria, Georgi Goshev name virtually unknown. |
