Ficus carica Green Ischia, Fig variety

This wonderful variety was discovered on the Italian island of Ischia, north of Naples. Ripe fruits are green in color, small, with a dark red and very tasty fleshy part. The "eye" is completely closed, which is why it is very rare to find rotten fruits. The variety is drought-resistant, but under irrigated conditions it produces larger and better-quality fruits. If not picked in time, the overripe fruits often dry on the tree without any deterioration in quality.

The Green Ischia variety does not need pollination. It gives two crops, the first crop (breba) is abundant and with large fruits, but in some years it is missing. The main crop is also abundant, the fruits remain smaller in size, but they are much tastier than those of the first harvest. The trees have very good cold resistance.

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.

Ficus carica Brogiotto Nero, Fig Brogiotto Nero (S)

This variety originates from the famous Apice Piante nursery in Italy. Although with excellent qualities, there are differences with the authentic variety and it is not clear whether it is a form of the same variety or a different variety.

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.

Ficus carica Brogiotto Nero, Fig Brogiotto Nero (N)

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 Magnifica Dry, Fig variety

from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

The variety originates from Turkey.

Magnifica Dry. Why that name?
The fruits of this fig are medium to large. They remain green after ripening, so are not attractive to the birds. Inside are red, sweet, but ... drier than other figs. This is a variety that is delicious, but because of the drier meat does not ferment quickly and after ripening is ready for drying. The skin of the fruits is thin, so they quickly turn into perfectly dried figs of excellent quality.

This variety bears two crops, in June (breba) and in August-September (main crop).

Ficus carica Turca, Fig variety Turca (Turkish) from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Ripens from the middle of August until the end of September. The fruits weight 50-70 gr, skin is very thin, but the fruits are very resistant to manipulation, and this makes them excellent figs for the market.

Ficus carica Verdone CL, Fig variety Verdone CL

Early variety, ripens from late August until the first frosts, as the fruits ripen, even when the branches are left without leaves. They weigh 50-70 g. The skin is thin, but the fruits are very resistant to manipulation and this makes them excellent late figs for the market.

The name Verdone CL is a subject of debate among experts. In general, this name in Italian language is suitable for a light-colored fig, not a dark one like this. This variety came to us with this name from the famous Italian nursery Apice Piante. To avoid confusion, we kept the original name. Regardless of the name, however, the variety is magnificent, produces abundantly and the fruits are of excellent quality.

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

Tauro is a great fig variety !

Tauro fruits taste great. In our experimental field in Assenovgrad, Bulgaria it produces two abundant crops in a season - the first crop in late June and main crop - from July to October.

The fruits are of excellent quality and besides for fresh consumption are also suitable for drying when pollinated, of course. Their color is slightly purple. The color of the fruits of figs may vary depending on the cultivation conditions.

This variety came many years ago from Italy with the wrong name "Black Kadota", which for years was produced and sold in our nursery. The correct name of the variety is already clear and from now on it will only be called "Tauro".
