Resistance in the garden. Withstands up to -20°C without significant losses. Resistance increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches become thicker . 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.

Plants for the garden or terrace are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shading nets or anti-hail nets). For this reason, naturally, they cannot have perfect foliage - the leaves can show traces, defects or other damage.

In the cold season, the plants enter the period of vegetative rest.
