BOURJASSOTTE GRIS

Anyone have any info on this?

Availability, culture, synonyms?

Thanks as usual!

I have one, and has not fruited.

I thought I read somewhere that this variant seems to have a habit of dropping figs. Hope someone can verify this.

I have one growing in the ground. It is a medium sized LATE season dark brown fig with very good flavor.  The figs that I have eaten from my tree have a strong pronounced strawberry flavor to them.....more so than any other fig I have ever eaten.  I did not experience the fruit drop that others have reported.......maybe it's because my tree is growing in the ground and not grown in a pot. It does want to be a large tree.

Thanks guys!

Its definitely on my wish list.  My list is fairly short these days.  It has a long history in the horticulture of England and for some reason that "scene" has always intrigued me.

I understand that Barnisotte maybe the black version of this fig with altered spelling as is often the case with ficus.

I have a 4-5 year in ground B.G. from CRFG Prusch Farm fig collection in San Jose. 

Thanks for the info Gloria.

Thanks everyone for all the info.

Maybe I can work out a deal for a cutting of the BG. 

The BG has a history of being grown under glass, which adds to eagerness to attain this variety.  In due time I suppose...
