Hello Members!

I was see a topic about this variety, but nobody said if he has this variety or not. A very good friend told me, that this variety has to be very cold hardy, and has a very good fruit quality. He tried to get this variety from a Chinese guy, but unfortunately there were some problems with the posting, and finaly he didnt get it.

I opened this topic, cause I would like to know who has this variety on the forum, and what kind of experiences has with this outlying variety? And is he having some photos about the variety?

У меня есть саженец "узбекский желтый", купил этим летом. Фигура нет. Вы должны проверить следующий год, это растение от сорта. Этот сорт не выносливы.

I believe this is also known under the name of Tashkent.  Is that correct, Vlad?  I have a young tree of it but I'm in zone 9b.

I believe Vlad is saying it is not cold hardy.  Raintree indicates it survives the cold of Uzbekistan but hasn't been tested here in the U.S. yet.  See http://www.raintreenursery.com/Tashkent-Fig-Gallon-Pot.html

Hi,

Thank you guys for the replies, and the photos.
Harvey is this variety ever produced to you? I heard the Tashkent variety has some problems with the leaf dropping, and I never seen any piture from the US members.

No, not yet.  My tree was just planted in July or so.  I certainly don't recall any problems of leaf dropping.

Hi Kristian!

You may have luck with this one, I have one rooted cutting from this year.

Just write me about it next winter, I might have cuttings from it then.

I also have more chinese cultivars which are already rooted...

I read on a Tashkent website that these trees are kept small so they can be covered in winter...they have moderate winters and hot summers which implies this cultivar doesnt posses any exceptional cold tolerance. Im sure when Raintree Nursery imported this variety it was infected with fmv. The Uzbek stock is way too productive to be heavily infected. Regardless, this is a large, attractive, productive fig. I'm looking for this variety from a healthy fmv free stock. The member helikai on this forum is from China and had this variety but has not been active on here in a year.

Hello Guys!

Gelu, Its a good new from you, because this variety looks very promising even if its not cold hardy, but the fruit quality looks excellent. Finally i got my friend two freckled beauty plants, and I will have cuttings from this variety for the exchange.

Justin, you are might right. I was read that in Uzbekistan the winter temperatures can reach -30C, or even lower. Here in hungary the main temperatures are variating between -15, and -20C. But the warmer winters we have only -10C. Now this year is very mild, the lowest temperature here was only -5c. Usually at this time of the year the country would be covered with snow, but now its raining. The weather feels like the end of autumn. 
Here the only problem is the low temperatures, but if I keep my plants small, I can easily protect them with soil, or straw. This protection technique performed the best over the 2 year experiences.
