Di Tre Volte

In Tuscany (Italy), Di Tre Volte is a fig tree which produces three crops (breba, main crop and cimaruoli). The main crop is really early in Tuscany and ripens at the end of July.

In Haute-Savoie (France), only the main crop is able to ripen. The fruit is of average size, has a yellow skin. It is very sweet, but has no real perfume.

Unfortunately, the wood is very sensitive to cold and humidity and can be ill very rapidly. One must then accept to lose 4 to 5 years of growth, with no possibility to find an alternate solution.

In addition, the main crop fruit has a very big eye, therefore not resistant to adverse weather conditions, which develops some unwanted rot around it. The fruit also splits even in dry conditions.

Finally, the stalk is unable to retain the weight of the fruit, which may drop. This cultivar is abandoned.
