A large, fruited variety from the town of Rovnij, Croatia. The droplet shaped fruits are green-yellow with a honey coloured flesh which is very sweet. The tree has dark green, slightly lobed leaves. A self fertile, very tough, hardy variety.
Fig is a well known fruit, cultivated since ancient times and grows wild in dry and sunny areas. It is mostly cultivated around the world for its fruits but it is also a great architectural plant with very ornamental leaves, plus the foliage turns yellowish in the Autumn. After their fall, the fruits often remain on the bare branches. We have different leave forms, deeply lobed to slightly lobed. Figs can be found in continental climates with hot summers as far north as Hungary and Moravia, and can be harvested up to four times per year. Thousands of cultivars, most named, have been developed as human migration brought the fig to many places outside its natural range. Two crops of figs are potentially produced each year, but in UK conditions, it is safer to use varieties with one crop as the first crop would often be damaged by Spring frosts.
Most common figs have all female flowers that do not need pollination; the fruit develops through parthenocarpic means, but there are varieties which requires the fig wasp for pollinisation (this insect usually cannot live in UK climate, this is why parthenocarpic varieties have to be used here to have fruits). We send out 4 months old plants (from cutting), potted into 9cm pot.
Please check our shop regularly as we will have different fruited varieties on offer soon.

Packaging and Postage
When
sending plants, it is extremely important to pack them as securely as
possible, therefore we don't use stuffing. Instead we have developed a
unique packaging method which makes plant movement virtually impossible
in the parcel. Each pot is wrapped, therefore the compost is securely
locked during transit and the roots won't be disturbed. Your item will
arrive in perfect condition to your door.
In
almost all circumstances, we use royal mail 24h or 48h service to send
your parcel with the delivery aim of 1-2 days in the UK (please note
that this is not a guaranteed next day service); or royal mail
International Tracked and Signed to overseas. You have the option for
signed for and guaranteed next day delivery. Royal Mail has length
limitations for small parcels, it cannot exceed 60cm. Sometimes, we may
use a fully tracked service which requires a signature upon delivery.
Please expect some delay around Bank Holidays.
We
combine postage whenever possible. If you order more than one item,
please always ask for an invoice if ebay does not automatically
calculate the combined postage.
If you have any
questions or you find anything not as expected about your received
order, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our utmost to
help.
It is important to us to care about
the environment, so our plants are grown in reusable plastic pots and we
pack our plants in recyclable cardboard boxes.
