Hello Ercan! Welcome to the fig forum Nice to see another European grower among us. Here in North only the earliest ripenning varieties can make it. I'm looking for the earliest variety from turkey, for main crop from the common fig group. Do you know what are the earliest ones? When do they ripen? The earliest one in my collection is the mitchurinska 10, which is ripens its main crop in early August, This cultivar is Bulgarian, but Bulgaria was under turkish occupation more than 100 years, so it might has turkish origin. Do you have any earlier variety?
