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

This variety came from an old tree, which we found in a private garden in Rezovo. Soon after we propagated it, a new building was built on the site and the tree was destroyed. The qualities of the variety are very good and it deserves to be propagated and spread more widely.

Rezovska fig has a very good taste, with hints of wild berries. The fruits are black in color, with a strong skin and good resistance to transport and storage. It gives a main crop, which begins to ripen at the end of August, under the conditions of Southern Bulgaria and the Black Sea coast. 

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