Hello Friends,

I currently have some extra cuttings for SARIZEYBEK and another (name unknown) purple colored variety for exchange. The purple colored one is originated from Crete.

Please PM me if you are interested for an exchange.

Thanks

Hello all,
I found fresh figs at my market... So I bought it but it wasn't that good at all.
I think it was brown turkey.
Which varieties are good for commercial growing ?
Are there any commercial fig orchards with better tasting varieties ? :)
Any ideas ?

Hi There,
Cyprus is located near Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Israel...
there are many fig varieties on the island.
Almost every other house has a olive, lemon and a fig tree... ( We are talking about thousands of them) Actually cyprus flag has a olive tree on it.
Olives and figs are everywhere on the island.
There are many different varieties and local people named them...
This specific tree came from Lebanon to Cyprus and local people call it lebanese beauty... People don't know the scientific names for the trees on the island.
There are many trees from israel as well... figs, apricots, pomegranates and so forth...
probably the oldest fig tree is on the island...

here is the link for more details...

Hello Boris,
Thanks for your message.
I brought the first cuttings last year and exchanged with Mr. Adriano from Canada.
I sent him 3 or 4 cuttings and he sent some 4.
I had one cutting left and that is in a pot growing currently.
I also planted 2 more couple weeks ago and they seem to be doing fine. Green leafs and more buds are blooming.
Temp. in Cyprus is generally warmer but the trees are located on the mountain and it gets cold there... It snows as well.
