Good night Ross, my name is António. I am from Portugal, 40 km northwest of Lisbon (Sobral de Monte Agraço) and figs have been always present in my life. Your fig collection is really impressive as well your knowledge on fruit trees.... I have got a fig tree that has been producing figs for seven generations of my family. It is a "moscatel" fig tree. In other regions of Portugal is called "pingo de mel". it is a extra sweet green variety with yellow pulp. But we also have other varieties like the "rebanquio" and the " corigo" fig. During the seventies and the eighties we use to take our breakfast at the fig trees. Those were the best figs i have ever tasted. It was quite common in Portugal that figs were eaten by the fig trees as breakfast when they were still fresh with the night dew. Rebanquio fig tree reminds me the "verdino del norte" you have described. Actually i have two kinds of rebanquio one with a yellowish pulp the other with a deep red colour. The last one is really crunchy, sweet and last year i had been eating them till november because they resist rain very well. "Corigo" is a brown round fig prone to splitting and with a milder sweetness. Of my fig collection i also have "rei branco" and "rei preto" two varieties from southern Portugal , "preto de torres" from central Portugal and "figo de são João" that comes in late june early july, in my region. i wish you all the best and keep your work with the fig trees
I just started collecting figs starting in 2020, I am up to 50+ cultivars, and I finally got the Figoin yesterday after work. I was able to grab two rooted cuttings from a fellow local hobbyist. Really excited for this variety due to all of the hype, I can't wait to taste the intense berry flavor of this fig that I've heard so much about. I only have a couple more figs that I want to get, including BNR and Calderona de Miner, but I am getting close to having every fig that I could possibly want (I hope).
Ross, I use organic cedar oil to repel mosquitos and other insects. This is what the natural mosquito treatment companies spray in your yard as well and smells good when you spray it on your skin. You can find it on Amazon searching Wondercide outdoor pest control in concentrate that you mix with water in your own spray bottle.
Ross, thank you for sharing, this is very informative and I always use your video as a guide to decide what plant I should grow. P.S. I am also from Philly.
Small fruit is preferred in a short season climate. My cherry tomatoes and medium sized tomatoes ( black Prince and Ukrainian purple ) do better here in Denver zone 6 than the beefstake tomatoes.
Hey Ross! Is this from Belfiore? I ordered Verdino del nord from them amongst others but when I got it the label said only Vedrino. I saw other listings with “Verdino” only. Are those two different, or is verdino del nord= verdino? Thanks!
Looks like a great fig! We had Mosquitos really bad and bought a product called Mosquito Eradicator. Hang at the furthest corners of your yard under a tree. You will thank me later!
So small might as well eat raspberries Ross you get plenty. Lol 😂 great video Ross . As soon you put that fig in your mouth it’s gone. You have to make that instant decision of how it taste. Kidding bro keep reviewing. By the way maybe one day you can do a giveaway baby fig plant, that would be cool bro. Anyway happy figgin and thanks for the updates.
Hey Ross, what zone are you in? I've been trying to find a fig tree to grow with the best berry flavor is what I'm looking for that I can grow here in ground, in Tennessee. I live in zone 7A will the variety you're talking about grow in my zone in ground? Please get back to me. Thank you.
Ross is in USDA Zone 7A too, in the Philadelphia area. He does grow many of his figs in the ground, but protects them in winter. Here’s one of his videos on his process of doing that: ruclips.net/video/vOUukGOTpsc/видео.html
Avon Skin So Soft mixed 50/50 with water was always good against mosquitoes and no see ums in Florida. I haven’t bought any in a while. Also, rubbing Bounce fabric softener on your skin, and then put the sheet under your hat.
Do not rub Bounce fabric softener on your skin, that stuff is toxic. It shouldn't even be used on clothes for that same reason, it contains hormone disruptors such as xenoestrogens that go straight to your bloodstream through your skin (since you didn't eat it there is no filtration system).
Hey Ross I just wanted to try fresh fig so hard.. And trying to grow fig trees but my whole crop for first time is fermented and fall prematured from trees .. what to do man?

When not assassinating Hydra's enemies, the Winter Soldier likes to do a bit of fig gardening.
Lmfaooo
That's why he's the Winter Soldier. Dude doesn't activate until after fig season.

António Lopes João António Eduardo would you be willing to sell these varieties to me and ship them to the Netherlands?
Can you send me photos of rebanquio?

Considering getting this cultivar for the greens in my collection. The red color inside is amazing.

Nice video I might try to find that fig as well. Man you could use a big green house to grow all those figs in to control rain fall and the cold.
We have the same climate pretty much here in south jersey, I will need this fig tree.
I need this variety
Ross, thank you for sharing, this is very informative and I always use your video as a guide to decide what plant I should grow. P.S. I am also from Philly.
Ross- recently found your channel and love the knowledge you provide. Do you think the Verdino Del Nord can be in ground in zone 6a?
If you wrap it.
You are starting to Convince me to get a fig😀 with all of the fig videos
Starting? Have you totally lost your mind?!
Lol
i understand your struggles with the humidity. i live in west palm florida so the mosquitoes and the rain are always messing with me 😂
ScribGod West Palm Beach? Have you had any luck growing figs? I have a house just south of there and I thought figs needed cold winters
Ross, what is the timing when you’ll be selling one of these cuttings? Thanks

It very well could be. I would call them. Their Verdino listed in the catalog fits the description: www.vivaibelfiore.it/catalogo/pdf/catalogo.pdf
Hey Sabastian, have you called them? What did they say?
Looks like a great fig! We had Mosquitos really bad and bought a product called Mosquito Eradicator. Hang at the furthest corners of your yard under a tree. You will thank me later!
Avon Skin So Soft mixed with water or Bounce fabric softener are good for keeping skeeters away.
So small might as well eat raspberries Ross you get plenty. Lol 😂 great video Ross . As soon you put that fig in your mouth it’s gone. You have to make that instant decision of how it taste. Kidding bro keep reviewing. By the way maybe one day you can do a giveaway baby fig plant, that would be cool bro. Anyway happy figgin and thanks for the updates.
How can I be notified when this is up for sale?
Mannnnnnnnn I can't wait for this one to ripen/dry for us. One of my most anticipated cultivars of the year.
It does need a few years to mature. You may have to be patient!
Ross Raddi fair enough! I won’t pass too much judgement on this years crop.....but I’m still excited lol.
Evan, where did you buy this variety?
Dennis Katinas Harvey C. (Figaholics)
I see that you have your Figs in fabric containers. Is that ok? Don't the roots grow into the fabric bag and you can't root prune it?
I don't use fabric anymore: ruclips.net/video/qYAjtpJKWkI/видео.htmlsi=sF-0X_XJom5NeFCq
@@RossRaddi thanks for the reply. I will get my fruit trees out of the fabric bags asap.
So best. Nice video bro
Where can i buy one at ?
Awesome. I like to try growing one or two in Hawaii.
I have green michurinska, I wonder how flavor compares.
would this variety be suitable to grow ingot zone 6A ? Thank you in advance. I really enjoy your videos. :)
Yes
Is the variety on TreesOfJoy.com the same Verdino del Nord?
Hey Ross, what zone are you in? I've been trying to find a fig tree to grow with the best berry flavor is what I'm looking for that I can grow here in ground, in Tennessee. I live in zone 7A will the variety you're talking about grow in my zone in ground? Please get back to me.

Nerucciolo d'elba
This fig vs campaniere which is earlier?
Campaniere is one of the earliest varieties in existence. VdN should ripen about 2 weeks later.
