Beautiful figs, look really jammy... i'm assuming all the hot weather we've been having have been great for your figs this year right? I heard the Gris is one of the Col De Dame's that ripen best in our climate, so happy to see the others ripened nicely for you :)

Nice figs. Congrats. If i would have to pic between the looks only. I vote for the blanc. Which one was better ? I am sure they are both good with different trates.

Wow .. I have both!  but only the Blanc is fruiting.   So, how do the taste compare?  did you particularly like one better than the other?

They were both good, as exotic as they are I still feel Adriatic JH ranks right there with them. The Blanc was better. Brooklynmatty, they did benefit from a head start in the greenhouse but this has been a good summer weather wise.

Rafael,
Very nice combination from a sole plant - Congratulations
and great figs in all respects.
With a bit of luck will taste this pair next season.

Francisco there is a sole plant called Coll de Dama Blanca-Negra that produces black and white fruit on the same tree. That is not the case here. These came from two different plants.

Is there a sole plant like that?

Yes, it is a sport, discovered growing in Mallorca and propagated by Montserrat Pons.

Great looking figs Rafael! Looks like perfect timing on the ripeness.

I purchased a CdD Brun that is to have come from France.  I am hoping it is the same as CdD Noir but regardless as long as it is a CdD it should be fine!
