Fig trees of the Catalan countries
Ull de Perdiu Blanca del Montseny This is a page about the fig trees world and collectors which I attempt to build little by little
It is not only my intention to collect existing information, an important part this work is based on my own experience.
The pictures of these pages are made by My self.
I believe that an important part of the varieties of my own and neighbor countries, they are left to identify.
It is for me a pleasure to build this web and I wish to contribute to loving this tree.
More than twenty years ago, I worked as farmer. At the present, I am working in informatics topics.
The ‘computer scientist’ term that goes of swank in pejorative, I believe that not it is suitable for me.
After this heavy change that is to leave forever what you love up, the fruit of quality souvenir, since impossible to find, it led me to rehearsing different types of fruit trees in my terrace.
Of all them, the fig tree was the best adapted.

Now I am enjoying with and of collection of fig trees in my terrace.
The fig tree is a Mediterranean symbol and it is necessary to preserve its great diversity of fruits and names on our lands and to learn to appraise this fantastic fruit.
The fig tree and its fruits in being enriched our language and our culture how any other tree never has made.
A small writing of Joan Pellicer evocative of my childhood
I like this tree because it grows well in the urban environments and it allows me to enjoy a collection in my roof and tasting these fruits.
In French and English , there are a lot of information about the fig trees and little in our language. But it is in ours area where the greatest diversity is accumulated.
The identification by the descriptions is often difficult, but thanks to the project
"Caracterización morfológica y molecular del banco de germoplasma de higuera delSIDT (Extremadura)", him surprising to see how effectively from the ADN, the names of the list of fig trees of DCVB are effectively differents varieties and no synonyms of the same variety, in spite of the badly transcribed names.
It is important look at after many centuries many of these fig trees they keep their denominations invariable, being necessary the use of the dictionary to understand their meaning.
The current list has been obtained mainly, crossing information of the Dictionary Catalan-Valencian-Balearic of To. M. Alcover and F. of B. Moll with other information. It would thank the information that help me to improving this page.
It is not my intention to recopy information. There are already interesting Links, where we can know the methods of reproduction, the types of terrain, their surprise sexuality, the most suitable varieties from each climate, the fertilizing , the pruning, the longevity, the medical and food properties , their chronicles and where moreover we find persons to solve ours,doubts. To grow fig trees is very simple and It adapts practically in any environment , like no other fruit tree. A good amount of figs can be harvested with a pot of just 10 liters ( 3 Gallons ) of compost. I believe that a good part of the varieties of fig trees of the Catalan countries have not identified. With the disorder that the farmers are suffering perhaps that they get lost forever.
The Catalan language is full of the influence of figs and the fig trees. Why we do not put a fig tree in our life?.That wonderful it is to be in the fig tree! (You will feel better if you have a siesta under this tree)
