Ficus carica Panache, Fig Panache from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

   This variety is also known as Striped Tiger fig. Highly valued for its extremely sweet and juicy fruits, resembling a strawberry taste. Distinguished from all other varieties of figs, because of the attractive color of the fruits, which are colored with yellow and green stripes on the outside and dark red on the inside. The fruits ripen late in summer ( end of August-beginning of September).This variety is self-fertile (you pollinate yourself), which means that it does not need other trees to bear fruit.

   The fruits have a strong skin and good resistance to transport and storage.

Important! In the younger trees, it is possible to observe the breakdown of genes and, in addition to the yellow-green coloring of the fruit, there may be only yellow fruits!

Frost damage begins at temperatures below -14 to -16 degrees, and trees freeze to the ground at temperatures below -18 degrees.

This is a variety with very juicy and delicious fruits. It is suitable only for the warmer regions of Bulgaria because the new branches do not harden off very well and are prone to frost.

Moisture during fruit ripening affects the crop. The "eye" opens easily, after which the fruit ferments. Therefore, watering should be avoided after the beginning of August.

It is not yet known whether this variety needs pollination.

Ficus carica Cerretto, Fig variety Cerretto from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

 

The fruits are very large, 160-180 gr, the flesh is amber, sweet and juicy. The fruits are not very durable and are not suitable for long transportation and handling. There is a plentiful first crop, that ripens from mid-June to mid-July.

A great fig variety, but the fruit should be consumed within the production area.

Ficus carica Hardy Yellow, Fig variety Hardy Yellowfrom Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

This is a very interesting variety, that we found about 15 years ago in a private garden in the town of Assenovgrad, Bulgaria. It may be of Greek origin. Until we are able to determine its eventual official name, we will use the working name Hardy Yellow. This variety performed better or the same as Michurinska-10 during the freezing February 2012 when it overwintered with no damage in our experimental field.

The fruits are large, 100-120 gr, its flesh is amber, sweet and juicy. Thy are not very durable and it is recommended to consume them not far from the place of production. There are two abundant crops.

In summary, this is a great fig variety with delicious fruits.

Ficus carica Brunswick, Fig variety Brunswick from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

 

Brunswick is a popular variety worldwide and probably the second most popular variety in Bulgaria!

It produces two crops - first crop (June to July), and the main crop (August to October). As with all fig varieties pollinated fruits are of much higher quality. The fruit taste is delicious, juicy and with high sugar content. In some years the fruits tend to split, depending on weather conditions.

This fig variety has very good cold tolerance and that is why it is so popular in Bulgaria. It is especially often found around Varna and Stambolijski, where they grow in almost each yard.
