Dalmatie really takes off with age. 3 years is where it starts. You'll get much bigger fruits forward. Brebas are even bigger. One particular thing - it needs a lot of sun to ripen well.
As you've mentioned on your site, this fig for some strange reason doesn't get much attention...In US at least. But here (on the Balkans) it is one of the staple varieties. It is slow grower, but because of that is quite hardy fig. The taste, (and it is a huge size) is amazing. One caveat - it does need a lot of sun to become really good. 8 hours a days is the minimum. Brebas are huge (100 gr minimum up to 250gr). Again - this fig is known since ages, and for a reason!
I’ll take cuttings in Nov/Dec. Remind me later or just fill out the subscribe info on my website and I’ll send an announcement. Thanks! Www.figlife.com
Pete, (ktrain on ourfigs) I have seen references to this one being the same or genetically close to Brunswick, is that your opinion? - I want to add it but I know Brunswick has a huge tendency to split easily. There are a few of us who follow you closely because you have a similar climate, I'm in North Ga. So your opinion is valued and appreciated.
No I don’t think so. There are a bunch of varieties that are similar to Dalmatie, including Stella, Leo Longhissimo, Leon’s Montenegro, and Qora Yasile. It’s possible that Brunswick is close on a family tree, but it is definitely seems different and has different characteristics. Dalmatie will stay green, it doesn’t darken. It also isn’t much of a splitter. Given its large size Dalmatie performs really well.
Wow Peter, those closeup shots are incredible! Very good video as always!

Hey Pete, I guess after all that fig was good enough to spoil dinner 😂. Can I get cuttings?

@@FigLifedotcom Thank you for that information, I will give it a go.
Have you grown out Leon's Montenegro? I've heard it's a possible synonym for Dalmatie/Stella.
I'm growing it now, but it hasn't fruited for me yet.

Can the FIG branches be sent to China?
No sorry
