Sådär! Nu ringde jag Proval i Spanien och fick prata med en som kunde hygglig engelska.
Han frågade vad det var för färg på identifikationslappen som hängde på plantan och vart jag hade köpt den samt hur länge sedan.
Efter det sa han att sorten var: Cuello de Dama Negra.
Trevlig kille förresten som blev glad för att en slutkund ringde direkt. Jättebra service gav han och önskade att jag skulle fortsätta köpa växter från proval :-)
I alla fall: nu har jag letat runt på nätet och hittat detta om denna sort:
http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=Cu...3%B6k&meta=Därifrån hittade jag att:
1: Three types of
figs are grown commercially (Storey, 1976): the
common-type that develops fruit parthenocarpically, the
Smyrna-type that requires pollination with pollen from
caprifigs (bisexual trees; caprification), and the San
Pedro-type that produces a first crop parthenocarpically
and a second crop only after pollination. Some common-
type figs that produce parthenocarpic fruits also develop
seeded fruits after pollination.
2. Cuello de Dama Negra tillhör Common-type Figs with Skin Dark (Various Shades of Red, Brown, or Violet to
Black); Pulp Various Shades of Red.
3. Beskrivningen av Cuello de Dama Negra:
Col de Dame Noir (syns. Col di Signora Nero, or Negra, Col de Señora Negra,
Cuello- de Dama Negra, probably Fico del Giammico of Guglielmi, Bouankirk.)
Described by Audibert Frères (1854), Hogg (1866), G. S. (1869), Eisen (1888, 1901),
Starnes and Monroe (1907), Guglielmi (1908), Estelrich (1910), Priego-y Jaramillo (1922),
Mauri (1939b), Simonet et al. (1945), Delbard (1947), and Montagnac (1952). Illustration
of fruit by Eisen; of tree, leaves, and fruit by Mann. In Spain, this black fig is not so
common or so highly regarded as Col de Dame, although the fruit is said by Estelrich to
be resistant to spoilage in wet weather. In France, it is a late variety of excellent quality;
Eisen reported it as extensively cultivated near Roussillon, and as superior to Col di
Signora Bianca. Simonet reported that the tree bears only one crop and questioned the
statement of Eisen regarding a first crop. According to Mann, the name Bouankirk
signifies “long neck.” The Kabyles also designate the variety by the names D’Abouch
Takli, “breast of a negress,” and Abgait. It is widely grown in North Africa, but on
account of thickness of skin it is not dried commercially.
Col de Señora Negra was introduced into California from England by John Rock in
1883; it was not included in the Chiswick collection. P.I. No. 6,467, listed as Baalie, has
proved to be the same variety at Riverside. The following description is taken from
that of Simonet.
Leaves large, 3- to 5-lobed; margins undulate. Figs medium; average weight 45
grams; body subglobular to oval; neck elongated-cylindrical, thick; ribs prominent,
elevated; stalk very short; eye small, with dark-red scales; skin fine, but fairly resistant,
checking crisscross at full maturity; color dark violet, greenish toward the stalk; meat
white; pulp deep red, luscious; quality excellent. Season late
Så om jag har förstått det hela rätt så är min sort självpollinerande men fikonen utvecklas sent och det kanske inte är en hit med tanke på hur den svenska sommaren är ibland.

Skulle vara så himla kul att äta sina egna fikon!
