Dalmatia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalmatia is a fig variety of the species Ficus carica , which is known for its excellent taste and great winter hardiness . Dalmatia is a double-bearing house fig that tends to produce small trees due to its weak growth.

Synonyms

Synonyms for the variety are "pear fig", "Blanche Navello", "Dalmatian", "Du Japon" and "San Pietro". A larger-fruity, but still slower-growing type is known under the name "Green Palatinate Fruit Fig". "Dalmatia" and sometimes "Dalmatian" are used as synonyms for the Brunswick fig variety .

tree

The dalmatia is slow-growing and therefore also suitable as a container plant and in Central Europe usually reaches a height of about 2 m and a width of about 2.50 m. The leaf is five- to seven-lobed, cut very deeply and can be up to 30 cm long with good fertilization.

fruit

The figs of this variety are pear-shaped, light green with characteristic small, lighter spots and purple-red flesh. The flowering figs, which ripen in June and July, weigh up to 100 grams. The autumn figs ripen in Central Europe from September to October, are larger and rounder and can weigh up to 170 grams. The figs are of excellent taste. Pierre Baud describes the fruit as dense, fleshy, sweet and of very good taste quality ("dense, charnu, sucré et de très bonne qualité gustative").

Winter hardiness

The Dalmatia is considered to be hardy and is one of the most popular green-fruity figs outdoors in Germany.
