Anna: I tried to plant fig peaches in the Moscow region, at first everything was fine, but the first fruits did not ripen to the end, I thought it might be better next year, but, alas, I was wrong. Maybe the variety is not suitable, I chose, or maybe I didn’t care properly, but my miracle did not stick.

The flat shape and bone that can be easily removed make this fruit even more popular. When I decided that I would grow this variety, my husband said that nothing would work out, but I still tried and was not mistaken. My peach is already 10 years old and it brings a very good harvest every year and does not die when it is freezing, although you have to constantly wrap it up and protect it from the cold.
