Smochin - Ficus carica 'Gustissimo Perretta' (crescut 100% biologic)

Ficus carica 'Gustissimo Perretta' - a variety with two fruitings per year, which is distinguished by the special, sweet-aromatic taste of the fruits and particularly high productivity. Selected variety, which bears fruit from the first years.

The first fruiting occurs at the beginning of August, the fruits being elongated, weighing 90-100 grams. The second fruiting begins at the end of September, and this time the harvest is more abundant, but the fruits are slightly smaller, round, weighing 60-70 grams.

The quality of the fruit is superior - the fruits do not crack, regardless of the weather, and have a high viability, which allows for long-term storage.

Garden resistance. Withstands up to -15°C without significant losses. Resistance increases as the plant matures, the root system develops, and the branches become thicker . It is recommended to protect the plants by covering them with microporous foil in the first years (anti-frost foil, Agril foil, etc.). Frost cases in Smochin involve damage to the aerial parts - but the root remains alive, and the plant enters vegetation again in the spring.

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

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

Garden or patio plants are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shade nets or hail nets). For this reason, naturally, they cannot have perfect foliage - the leaves may show marks, defects or other damage.

Note: The tips are cut by the producer to allow the plant to branch.

In the cold season it is sold without leaves.
