Fig 'Rezovska'
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.

Fig variety Magnifica Dry
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).

Fig variety Verdone CL
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.
