Fik i Zi, Zemer Kuq (FZZK) - Rooted Cutting. Rare cultivar from Albania.

This listing is for a beautiful FZZK rooted cutting in a 3x8 pot.  This is a rare  cultivar from Albania called Fik i Zi, Zemer Kuq (FZZK) translating to Black Fig with Red Heart as seen on the fruit pictures. This cultivar along with a few others were absolute standouts on a visit back home years ago!! I came across this amazing fig while walking the streets of the historic district of Berat and it was growing along the fence line of a 17th century home that it’s currently protected by UNESCO  and owned by a Local who’s name is Zabiti. Albanians don’t really give names to figs instead they describe them by characteristics. You may choose to call it Zabiti as a synonym. This cultivar produces an abundance of amazing black figs with a very pronounced vivid red interior and a complex flavor profile. The skin is slightly firm and it has a closed eye possibly making it a great commercial variety. In its native environment it produces a few early Brebas and  starts ripening the heavy main crop  figs in late June and continues to ripen figs until late October. Last year was the first fruit I got from the tree and it was amazing, common type fig, and no fruit cracked or spoiled due to rain and humidity. This year it was the first tree to set fruit and my second most productive tree as seen on the last photo. Absolutely stunning variety for rare tree collectors. 

There is no sign of FMV although I suspect all my trees may have been exposed at some point. If this is a problem please do not bid on my items. 

I will usually ship on Monday’s to avoid post office delays over the weekend. Weekday auctions will ship Thursday.  Please be aware that’s the post office is a lot slower than usual due to inclement weather. Item will be shipped USPS priority or UPS 3Day select, but there have been instances when it has taken longer than a week to arrive, however that’s rare. If somehow the item arrives damaged please take pictures of both box and contents and make me aware. 

If there is ever a problem with the item upon arrival,  please make me aware and I will do my best to make it right.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding!!
