These were pictures taken in Ukraine. The grower said that it's a really good fig. I'm wondering if this still exists in this country.

Reminds me of Flanders.

That's a nice looking fig!  If it's growing in Ukraine, can we assume it must be pretty cold hardy?

Now Randino grows in Tuapse, Russia.

This is nice, Vladis !
How about others fig cultivars from Melitopol, city-garden?
I have found this on youtube links of the above clip:
Quote

Инжир в Мелитополе получили от НБС Ялте. В Туапсе климат более благоприятный для выращивания инжира. По этой причине, я сосредоточиться на сорта с высоким вкусом. Randinо заинтересовала меня в первую очередь с большим количеством фиг первого урожая -breba.
Quote

anyone know how to translate vladis post to English ?

Figs in Melitopol received from NBS Yalta. In Tuapse climate more favorable for the cultivation of figs . For this reason , I focus on varieties with high taste. Randino interested me in the first place with a lot of Fig first harvest

Hi Serge, could you tell us what is better about Randino in your climate compared to the other figs? Taste, productivity, cold hardiness,.... ?

Compare to Dalmatie - a bit better condition after winter - 22 to - 30C( -21F) covered the same, 2-nd year you can see figs (breba or main or both), Dalmatie require minimum 3 years in my condition to see first fig. After pinching 4-5 leaf figs appear fast after 2- 3 leaf and can get ripe in my short sommer nearly all (2-3 per each branch).
Dalmatie is not influenced by pinch, and half or more 2-nd crop can not get riped because of cold weather.
Taste nearly as good as Dalmatie, a bit les sugary if rainy or too cold during ripening.
Same nearly no spoil in rain (not like Brunswick).

Randino much better after winter than VDB clone, same covered, size of figs is 1,5 times more, but a bit less sugary, a bit not as rich in taste, but still very good for me.
VDB clone got riped 70 - 40(30%) depends on weather, Randino 80-90%.

Brunswick no sense to compare as it is not reliable in my conditions, wet spoiled, few figs on tree, second crop did not properly riped for couple years.

Grice de Saint Jean - 3 years no ripe fruits, several half ripe, not eadible, awful condition after winter - no sence to compare.

Mission - 3 years - no fruits, after winter so so, one year full die back.

Magarachsky, Yellow unknown - nearly all or figs dropped due to climat conditions.

And so on...

Randino and VDB clone are very productive, Dalmatie a bit less.

After last autumn early frost from sommer weather 20-25 C to - 7C for one night all varieties got damaged.
I expect some figs, most on Randino wich was a bit less damaged, and may be on Dalmatie wich loaded new growth from ground level... but these appeared late enough and I'm not sure if I see much riped.

Hello Serge, can you tell me what are you normal summer temperature ranges June through August?

From 20 to 35 C, changes, but usually 2 monthes is warm more than 25, often around 30 and more.
I'd say that some year real sommer 4-5 monthes, sometime 3.
Maximum known 38 or 39 C

Serge, thank you for the useful information. This Randino fig looks like a good fig for my climate.

I am surprised that the Brunswick main crop ripens late for you (your summers are warmer than mine). I always thought that Brunswick is an early ripening variety, or at least earlier than VDB.

Thank you Serge! For my area we are consistently in 20-30C range. If we reach 35C it is very rare and only for a day or a few days at a time. My summer is about 3.5-4 months long all depending on how fast winter comes!

Hi. Great pics. Looks like a keeper. Is it a late ripener?
