At the Faculty of Horticulture in Bucharest, an important collection of fig (Ficus carica L.) genotypes found in Romania and some introduced from Italy, was started in 2015 and since then its evaluation is in process. The paper presents the results regarding the behaviour of some fig genotypes grown in the climatic conditions of Northern area of Bucharest, using an organic crop technology. Fruits measurements in accordance with IPGRI descriptors are presented. Fruit biochemical characteristics as soluble solids, total solids, acidity, glucose and fructose content are also presented. All the analyzed parameters were influenced by the genotype. The results showed that some of the local and foreign genotypes had a late harvesting or very small fruits. The genotypes that produced good results concerning fruit quality, such as: size, biochemical composition and cracking resistance, will be studied in the next years in order to observe their productivity, earliness and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
