Kelby, moderator of ourfigs.com:
Florea is among the hardiest varieties known, surviving temperatures as low as -4F in NJ. Introduced by fig guru herman2, it was brought to America from Serbia where it was grown in his father's garden. In Serbia it reportedly survived temperatures of -13F. In addition to it's hardiness, it is also the earliest to ripen it's main crop most years, usually in late July or early August. It is a sweet fig with a good but not extraordinary taste. It does not do well with rain or cloudy/cool weather.
It may be same variety as Mitchurinska10 per xenil/Kristian on f4f. Mitchurinska10 shares many common traits with Florea, and is common in Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries. Bulgarian agricultural authorities report this variety can survive -13F with little to no damage, but this depends on branch thickness.

eboone From Zone 6 On Jul 29 2019
This fig was introduced by fig guru Hermann2 on the F4F website, it was brought from his homeland Serbia and named for his father. It is one of the earliest of all main crop figs. Brown, small-to-medium sized fig, sweet flavor often with some caramel overtones. It is also fairly cold tolerant, here in zone 6a it needs additional protection to survive wood above ground in the winter. This may be the same fig a Michurinska-10, a cold hardy fig from Bulgaria.Similar Varieties
