Fig variety Black Donov

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Ficus carica Black Donov, Fig variety Black Donov from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria</strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The plant is in a 5l pot</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>This variety appeared from a seedling, a product of occasional hybridization between the fig varieties in our experimental field. One of the parents is most probably a Michurinska-10 fig, but this variety has a slightly lower cold hardiness, compared to Michurinska-10. The name Black Donov was given by our customers as a temporary working name and we started to use it.</p>

<p>The fruits of this variety have the best market characteristics of all varieties that we have in our experimental field.</p>

<p>The fruits are medium large. The eye is closed. The skin has attractive dark purple to black color. The meat is tasty and juicy, with well balanced sweetness and acidity.</p>

<p>The fruits are best consumed when they are well softened and slightly overripe.</p>
