Smochin - Ficus carica 'Lungo Del Portogallo'

Ficus carica 'Lungo Del Portogallo' is a variety of fig tree that produces exceptionally long and sweet fruits. The origin of this cultivar is not clearly defined, but the name suggests a connection to Portugal.

The fruits of 'Lungo Del Portogallo' are unique due to their elongated shape, hence the name "lungo." They have a thin light green skin and a dense red flesh. The taste is sweet and fragrant, with a perfect balance between the natural sweetness of the fruit and a slight acidity. Biferous variety - with two fruitings per year. When climatic conditions are favorable, both harvests are very abundant.

Fruit weight: approx. 70-100 grams

Garden hardiness. It withstands down to -20°C without significant losses. Hardiness increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches thicken. It is recommended to protect the plants in the first years by wrapping them with microporous foil (frost protection foil, Agril-type foil, etc.). Frost cases in fig trees cause damage to the above-ground parts - but the root remains alive, and the plant regrows in spring.

Resistance to diseases and pests. Fig trees are considered ‘pest free’.

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