I got my hands on this variety about two months ago and I wanted to share the information with everyone. Some might have noticed it on my website but I wanted to add a few more details here.
This variety is originally from the island of Bornholm in the Baltic sea in Denmark. The legend has it that this fig had reached the island during the Hanseatic League and it underwent a breeding selection in the course of the centuries. The Nexoe is also known as Nexö and the name can trace its origins to the small town of Nexø
