Werter1,you are right ,yes indeed it looks like Zimnica,Zimica,or whatever we call it.
But when I compare with Zimica in my village ,this one has, as you have noticed lighter coloured skin,and the fruit is more flat then round.
Also it arrives 10- 15 days earlier,but that could depend on location.
Yes,pruning and maintence is necessary :-))) ,but the hills are full of wandering goats,and the last time I pruned it (15 years ago) goats have almost destroyed it.
They ate leaves,young bark,young twigs.
My wife says to me that I am too lazy to take barbed wire up the hills :-D ,but I say God has prowided me with thorns and blacberries as a barrier around it,
so I leave as it is.
I have a bit of fuss picking it,but every year I have a good yield, better then on my fertilized figs.
Next year I am planing to propagate 20 - 25 plants from it.
I havent weight it but ,average fruit is 3.5 - 4 cm in width and 2.5-3.5 cm in height.
