Hey guys,
So i've had this fig tree for about 13 years now, and i have not been able to identify it. It doesn't match up with any of my other fig cultivars, so i thought i would ask you guys for any suggestions as to what it may be.
Ive had it in ground since i received the plant as a little 4-6 inch start and I have never protected from freezing temps in zone 7. It has only produced brebas for me twice and they were about twice the size of the main crop. It is a tight eyed fig that has never split or soured in my wet climate and the figs are mostly green with some browning(varies from fig to fig.) The taste at the beginning of eating these figs is slightly acidic and very figgy and then changes to a complex berry flavor that is not overwhelming and lingers on the palate for 30-60 minutes. It is one of my top 3 favorite figs that i grow.
The mother plant was originally brought to the US in the form of cuttings by my neighbor, who has now returned to his homeland, in the early 1970s from Budapest, Hungary. The plant survived for about 40 years without any special care. He was a professional wrestler that would be out of town for long periods of time so the plant never received water, nutrients or protection and thrived until it was cut down by my new neighbors a few years ago.
I have included some pictures of the leaves and figs both inside and out. Any information that you guys may know about it would be greatly appreciated as i do not know if it is a common fig in Hungary, rare cultivar, or possibly a seedling.
Thanks in advance!
