History & use
'Bornholm' is a Danish fig variety that has been cultivated on Bornholm since the 1930s, where the mild island climate allows this hardy variety to thrive outdoors. It has become popular in Sweden due to its hardiness and ability to yield fruit even in colder locations. The fruits are medium-sized with light brown skin and sweet, light pink flesh. Eaten fresh, dried, or used in cooking.
Cultivation
