Kedves Nino,
Sajnálom! (I think I spelled that correctly :-) I have been traveling on business. I have copied your post but haven't had time to work on the translation. I will do that soon.

Kedves Málna,
it's magnificent! Thank You!

Wanhasmah,
I guess there could be problems of shipping.

ninovarga. no problem with authority, only mould if not pack properly. i bought cuttings from us, canada europe etc.

Too bad the US is so strict on imports. Those looks amazing.

LooKs like you've got a lot of fans here Nino ... watch the camera over there !! ... haha

Awesome ...its a huge brebas ...

What variety is that?

This variety is named "Yellow giant" and has brebas of a weight up to 300 gr. It's of italian provenance. There's a local variety with similar fruit size (a bit smaller) and not yellow but brown colored, named "Palm-leaf giant" or by local (rural) denomination "Donkey's testicle fig".

What about the taste ?

Both are excellent!

Do they split on the heavy rain ?

Sorry, these big figs tend to split by heavy rain.

Hi Nino, would you tell me, how the way to get some cuttings of your amazing figs? (especially the Yellow Giant variety) i'm very interesting! ^^,

To send cuttings is possible only during the winter.

would you send me some in next winter?^^,

Nino,if you don't mind please send me your email address to onesymus1@gmail.com

^^,

Regards.:)

Fantastic figs, Ninovarga. Those are giant fruits!!!

I read your Hungarian explanation and it sounds like it is the ideal location and temperature of where the plants are. Unfortunately, that is something that will be difficult to simulate unless someone is in a similar location.

I am curious though, besides the "ideal" terrain, what else do you do with your plants?

-15C is 5F. Here in Michigan it gets lower than that. We could be looking at -23C (-10F) or lower. One of the most hardy, Chicago fig, will die back to the ground unless protected. Do your figs die back to the ground?

I do nothing else with my plants, they are there as if were wild plants of a forest. They have not got lower temperatures than -14,5 and that only one night in 2005. That's the absolute minimum temperature of the terrain.Consequently they never died back to the ground nor the branches. They have thick trunks.
I guess the expression "hardy" for Chicago fig is an impropriety because it can freeze as easily as any other kind of fig but being earlier in maturation is capable of ripening fig on new stems. Do you find right my interpretation?

yes you got it. I guess there really is no fig that will withstand prolonged subzero temps. Hardy Chicago may tolerate low temps among all the figs but not for prolonged periods.

What fig variety is that really big one you were holding?

It's the 'Early Purple'.

So, are these for personal consumption or do you supply commercially?

For family consumption and as gift for friends.

Also, its really good to see how figs look in their natural and ideal environment. Judging from the fruits, they truly look very healthy and robust. Thanks.

I don't those are figs... they look more like squash to me... lol...

Wow, love to see lots of pics. Your figs are so large! which variety is it?

Btw, in one picture, is it a pomegranade tree with orange/red-dish pulps next to your fig tree?

Not only the figs of one variety is so large among my varieties.
Yes. It's a pomegranade tree
