How do the Giant Bursa Black figs compare in taste to the regular Bursa? I have a new Black Bursa tree but doubt I'll get figs from it this year.

Hi Ercan, really pleased to see these excellent figs. In my country China, more and more people grow fig tress at home or near their homes & search varieties. You really can earn a lot of money by providing fig seeds to China。

Is it a Chinese choice or a young person's choice? Young people think they have all the time in the world to experiment with growing seeds. If after ten or twenty years, one plant in 100 turns out to be eatable, they can take pride in their accomplishment. Older people just want a good, fruiting plant quick and don't have the time to wait that long. I would guess older people are more likely to choose cuttings.

Wow! That's a small hand and a tiny phone :)

Is there a difference in taste between a regular Bursa and a giant one?

Giant Bursa, which is sold in supermarkets Russia every autumn, has no taste. The main reason -Low sugar content close to 0.

Do they have no taste because they are picked and shipped before they are ripe?
Has anyone eaten a ripe one right off the tree?

Yes it is normally very tasty and sweet but as AltadenaMara said it is shipped when they are unriped so it maybe some lack of taste but it is full of taste and sweet when they are fully ripen.

The lack of taste of the prematurely collected figs is a common thing.

Still, is there a difference in the taste and texture between the Bursa and the Giant Bursa assuming they are properly collected?
If you have one, is there a benefit getting the other variety?
Or simply put, do they taste as the different varieties?

Do they ripen at the different times?

Thank you for the warning but both figs discussed here ( and some others) are available in the U.S. and there is no need to ship from the overseas.
Although it is always good to keep in mind.

Green fig,
Both varieties are the same origin and the main difference is its bigness and I think it has no difference in taste ,
If you have one ,there will be benefit getting the other one.

Ercan, can you write us what is the shape of leaves of Sarizeybek?
Please take a look of my potted Sarizeybek fig, 
is this real Sarizeybek or could be other cultivar...

Anyone else who has this cultivar can confirm leaves type?

Thank you!

Ercan, thank you for your pics !
I cannot tell for sure, in your pic it looks like Sarizeybek have long fingers leaves type,
but they are wider than mine.

I don't have any fig picture, last year figs dropped due to lack of pollination...

Thank you, Ercan, for your reply. My fig tree could be misslabeled...
I also have one small fig tree Mini nut, very similar leaves pattern.

Do you know if Sarilop needs pollination or is common type fig?

Hi Ercan, 
I mentioned your fig trees in a Chinese forum yesterday. There are many fig funs in that forum. People are interested in your varieties. Can you sell us some cuttings? I'll let them know if you can sell cuttings to us.

So does that means that not too many Bursa Siyahi fruit stay in Turkey? (22%)  It seems to have both size, flavor, and the ability to be shipped long distances to its credit. I can’t find it listed in the data base here: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/file?id=1658209



yes you are right we get a lot of bursa figs from the supermarket (M&S)

Hello,
I bought some "Green Autumn Fig" seeds from Turkey.  They are growing very well.  My question is, are they the type that need a pollinating wasp for edible figs?

Thanks,
Sal

Sal, with a seedling, you don't know what you'll get.  It has a 50% chance of being a profichi (male type) fig.  If the male parent used to pollinate the fruit that produced the seed you bought was a persistent type, there is a 25% chance you will have a common type fig (female type, edible but not always palatable, not requiring caprification/pollination) and a 25% chance it will be a Smyrna or San Pedro type ((female type, edible but not always palatable, requiring caprification/pollination for main crop).  If the male parent was not persistent, the first 25% group moves into the second 25% group.  Unless you are doing breeding research, etc., usually not advisable to grow seedlings.

Sorry for my late reply Sal,
And thank you for your good explanations Harvey.
I just let you know about our Turkish type Green Autumn fig (Yesilguz) that is necessarily needed caprificarion and need wasp to pollinate.So I don't know where you live but if you don't have wasp then it is impossible to ripen this fig.
Thanks
