For auction in  3x8 tree pot.BELLECLARE #92 Black Zadar from the city of ZADAR CROATIA.My original Zadar mother tree is approximately 19-20 years old now.I purchased this variety for 49.99 as a rooted cutting in a 4 inch pot almost 20 years ago from my past dear friend and fig master Chris DiPaola and his brother Bill DiPaola.The owners of the famous Belleclare Nursery.Which was located in Plainview Long Island,NY.I miss the brothers and my trips to the nursery to hang around to learn from Chris and purchase fig trees.Chris was also a very generous human being.I never had a fig tree growing up in Brooklyn,NY.So many people did have fig trees in both the front and back of their homes.After my second visit to Belleclare Chris showed me the Martha Stewart video on an 8 track video tape on a small tv in the nurseries front section.At that point I was hooked.He did make me understand growing fig trees in pots is not for the lazy gardener.Boy he was so right.Then again he was always right.He also let me walk through his greenhouse at will to see all the different varieties rooting and young trees growing.If anyone hasn’t seen the video from 1998 I believe.Just google Martha Stewart at the Belleclare Nursery you will love it and get to see the master giving Martha Stewart a tour of the fig yard and a lesson about several varieties.He talks about his dads fig tree as he always did  from Formia Italy 🇮🇹 off the coast of the Gulf of Gaeta.This VARIETY from the city of ZADAR CROATIAN is a very unique variety.Its a large flat dark fig with a thick skin and a heavy filling with a  beautiful colored thick delicious pulp.To really appreciate the uniqueness of this variety cut it sideways like a bagel.It looks like a beautiful sun setting in the west as the photos show.This is probably the best fig to let dry on the tree.Its thick skin shrinks and it becomes a gummy fig.Absolutely awesome anyway you can get them before the critters do.You can also get the Belleclare list of figs online or on Ourfigs.Chris’s description of this variety #92 on the original Belleclare inventory list it said this one should knock your socks off.THIS PLANT HAS BEEN OUTDOORS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS IN VARIEGATED LIGHT.The weather here has been chilly.Its always good to introduce a plant slowly to your environment especially from the north to a warmer growing zone.The plant you see is the plant you will receive.I assume all fig trees have been exposed to FMV.Your plant will priority mail 1-3 days delivery at 19.95 except Washington State 22.95.
