Wasp Service 6

Another Smyrna fig ripening slightly later than  what is usual around here for these types.
Black, very large, born from a successful and robust chip from the previous season
Bird pressure did influence an early pick so all sugars and syrups are not yet there in full... furthermore such a young plant will only show its best around the 3rd/4th year. Nevertheless it matured  enough to realize we are talking of a delicious, nicely flavored very large black fig
This is the Bursa Siyah .. a few pictures

Beautiful Francisco, congrats

Ahh Turkish figs. :)

Thank you for your kind comments
Francisco

Hi,
Wow is that a huge leaf ? Or is it just the photo that makes it look so big ?
The fruit is nice too. I like the honey color of the inside.

Thank you .
Leaf is big but Zidi's are bigger and InchPreto's even bigger.

Francisco, that's great to see my Bursa siyahı in Portugal. Congrats .Really good job with grafting.

This fig looks very nice!

Is it possible that this fig is not a Smyrna type?  
Reason I ask is that fig and leaf look very similar to a local common type fig.

yes Ercan..
Thank you very much
It's a much unique fruit.  Different from all other in every respect.
Thought that local pollinators would not be in time 'au rendez vous' but I am glad they were ready!
Looking forward for next season.

Pino
Well, if that was true, many members would have claimed already their 'personal' strain of BB
I would be interested to see that fig of yours, you find similar to Bursa
I am surprised California fellows had not yet shown theirs.

Francisco,
My question is only in the sense of what constitutes a group (family) of figs.
Can a common and smyrna fig belong to the same group maybe leaves and fruit shape point to region?

here is photo of a common fig that seems to have a similar look.  Maybe it doesn't. how much can you tell from a photo?

Colleagues. Why do you write "big figs"? Do you find it hard to put it on the scales?

Yes Pino
You are right.. It has similar looks.  They may eventually share a Common parent , who knows?
I don't know when and  how BB was originated.
May be Ercan could tell us a bit more on this subject.

Sorry for that.. did not think it was much important.
It showed 94 gram on the scale..which is about the average for this cultivar
If needed I may send the picture when grand daughter is back from vacation, to process the insertion on the system.

Francisco

Спасибо, Франсиско.

Pino ,I don't think it is from same origins and also it is not similar for sure.Because Francisco grafted it last year and fruit is not reached the real size as I saw.Leaf shape is different also it has fatty lobes and I know BB s all leaf shape.Bursa siyahi fig origin is in Marmara region that we are in.It is a speacial fig in our area.I will add a few photo for you to support my thoughts,
