Ficus carica 'Lungo Del Portogallo' is a fig variety that produces particularly long and sweet fruits. The origin of this cultivar is not clearly defined, but the name suggests a connection with Portugal.
The 'Lungo Del Portugallo' fruits 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 aromatic, with a perfect balance between the natural sweetness of the fruit and a slight acidity. Bifera variety - with two fruitings per year. When the climatic conditions are good, both crops are very abundant.
Fruit weight: approx. 70-100 grams

It is recommended to protect by covering the plants in the first years with microporous film (anti-freeze film, Agril type film, etc.). The cases of frost in fig trees mean damage to the aerial parts - but the root remains alive, and the plant grows again in the spring.
Resistance to diseases and pests. Figs are considered ' pest free '.
Parthenocarpic variety - it is self-fertile and does not require a pollinator.
