Additional information about this fig.

It is more than 7 years old. It was killed to the ground one time, from winter cold. Starts bearing about 15-20 august and anthill the end of September will be finish. First figs are green, but ripe and good tasting. Later figs become dark blue in color.

Herman2, Thanks a lot!  

Very nice,Francisco

Yesterday I had some of Marabout figs, really great testing. Very high sugar content. 

Hi fig friends,

I need help!

A friend of mine has a fig that is very good testing. HI asks me to tell what variety is this … and I failed.

This fig is in ground in zone 7a/8b Bulgaria (EU), without winter protection. Probably of  Italian origin.

I will highly appreciate any suggestion …

PAKO

Here, after -15c and 10 days permanent under 0c temperatures – one year growth is gone. Next season fruited normally.

Francisco, great pictures!

Could you please compare the ripening time of Violeta vs Col de Dame ?

God bless you!

At this point we have 2 different figs with the name Goutee d’or (Doree).

Now I am curious to see haw will perform my type of Doree….which seems to be different from Baud’s Doree.

Hi jdsfrance,

I see  there  are more than one Doree fig (surprise!) .

Actually, I don’t care. If it is a gut fig ,it is ok for me.

I am waiting…..

From French nursery .Third season ,two winters .I’ve  pinched and have small embryos already.

Last year I had one (lousy) fig from this tree.

Hire ,we don’t know  what Vasilika Sika is…yet.

We call this one (pictures)-Dalmatie (Далматинска)

rofig,
I will pray for yours Blue Celeste….so you will be able to send me a cutting …..in the future .))))

javajunkie,
You are right…those pine needles are from a “special” pine tree - Pinus exelsa (Himalayan pine).

I have only that pine tree in my yard . But any pine will be ok I guess…

Chivas,
Yes, pine needles are keeping away the weeds and also maintain the moisture.

Actually ,I get olives from this particular  tree last autumn for first time…but it is a small tree.

However, this variety is cold hardy and promising  for my place.

rcantor,I already  had  fruit(8)  last year …some very good.

javajunkie,This mulch is from pine needles. 

Wait until end of June….
