Description

The fig tree ‘Cosme MA ño’ is a uniferous variety of the Common Fig type. Rescued from a single specimen that was alive and forgotten in the town of Llubi in Mallorca. Medium-sized tree, dense foliage, leaves of 1 and 3 (40%) lobes with teeth present. ‘Cosme MA ño’ is medium fig production.

The ‘Cosme MA ño’ figs are slightly pyriform urceolate figs crushed in the basal part, which do not have paired fruits, about 38 grams on average, of greenish-yellow epidermis with a purple envelope, their greenish-yellow neck and bruised green around the ostiolo . Ostiolo of 2 to 3 mm with small pink scales. Peduncle of 3 to 8 mm cylindrical light green. Longitudinal and marked cracks. Poor ribs. With a ºBrix (sugar grade) of 30, with medium firmness, with intense red pulp color. Of excellent quality in their organoleptic assessment, they are of a beginning of maturation on September 12 until October 24 and of average production. They are resistant to rain with late maturation.

Suitable for fresh consumption fig.

The information comes from Montserrat Pons' book, "Les Figures a les illes Balears". The Cosme Manyo variety originates from Llucmajor, the town of Montserrat itself.
It was introduced to the crop by a certain Cosme Manyo, I don't know if Montserrat has any clue of this man.

Estelrich names and describes this fig tree on October 16, 1908. (Image attached on description)
I can say that it is a fig of exceptional quality and taste.
. The figs are large and the tree vigorous.

Brian Melton:

The next couple years most sought after fig could be “Cosme Manyo”. The fig comes from Mallorca via Montserrat Pons Boscana . What makes it so special? Well, it is mid season here, medium to large size and prolific. The flavor is a bit complex as it is sweet with a rich berry flavor. The pulp is sticky and thick. The tree is not dainty like many French figs. It is a robust grower. What a fantastic variety!
