Garden hardiness. It withstands temperatures down to -20°C without significant damage. Hardiness increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches thicken. It is recommended to protect young plants in the first years by wrapping them with microporous film (frost protection film, Agril-type film, etc.). Frost damage in fig trees affects the aerial parts, but the roots remain alive, and the plant regrows in spring.

Disease and pest resistance. Fig trees are considered ‘pest free’.

Parthenocarpic variety - it is self-fertile and does not require a pollinator.
