@Dave Black Zadar? Zadar is part of the Northern Dalmatian province (Tomi can provide better color regarding same than I). It's possible that the Black Zadar is The Petrovaca Black or one of the other dark / black croatian variieties... Can you share any other info on the Black Zadar? I will do a search on the forum and see if I can "root" out any more information on this cultivar...

Black Zadar - It’s #92 on the old Belleclare list. I have a mature one in 20 gal pot that's a direct descendant from an original Belleclare tree. Belleclare’s list states, “A large flat, round fig. Thick skin, large eye, blood red center, heavy filling fig, from Zadar, Croatia. This one’s unique, a stand-out.” It’s suppose to be flat and turn jet-black. Here in NYC it does not. Maybe because it’s in a pot or out of its element. Don’t know. But, it will produce 2 crops of heavy, filling figs for us. Definitely not the best looking ripe fig either. Sweet, (very) complex taste with melon undertones. Slow grower. Not as slow as Black Madeira, but slow nonetheless. Air-layers very well; has 2 hanging on it now. Great fig for jam. Looking to trade mine. If there's any interest PM me. Dave, this is your thread. If you want me to take down trade let me know. __________________ Danny NYC Z7a It's all about the figs!

Danny, thanks for that report. I've heard that BZ has a very unique flavor. Are you trading the 20 gallon or something smaller? __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

Heres the BelleClares list with the Black Zadar #92 It does have a different flavor than other figs I have hard to describe but it is definitely a good tasting fig , mine are definitely flat but they are not dark ??? Danny absolutely no problem trade away! __________________ Connecticut - Zone 6B Wish List - Bordissot negra rimada
