"Coll de Dama Blanca-Negra" is an sport of the Coll de Dama family (Blanca, Negra, Gris, etc...).
The mother tree of this variety is in a private orchard of a Mallorcan village (Balearic islands).
Like many other Balearic varieties, it has been located and identified by Monserrat Pons, who has unveiled it from its forgotten place.
It produces two kind of figs at the same time: Coll de Dama Blanca and Coll de Dama Negra.
The "white" figs are greenish yellow, and the others are purplish black and a bit bigger than white ones.
Like all the Coll de Dama figs, they are deep red inside and of excellent taste, and very similar in general.
The most interesting characteristic in my opinion, for a non optimal climate, is that they ripen 15 days earlier than Coll de Dama Negra!!

All the above information and the pictures© come from the Monserrat Pons book "Las higueras de las Islas Baleares".

Have you been able to acquire?

wow.. now that's truly interesting. something that even martin might like :)

Wow Jon!  Thanks for the photos and the cuttings of the Coll de Dama Negra!  My climate IS optimal!  Wanna have a race? :-))  I'll bet you my Negra in optimal climate ripens faster than your blanca... which.... well, another story, another time..........

You are a special friend in my life, and thanks from the bottom of my heart!

I recently have been inquiring about this variant. Does it grow them on the same branch or like my bordissot blanca rimada with one branch all green figs? Or does it make them on the same branch?

NYPD5229, not yet.
Bullet08, yes it is interesting. Monserrat told me that botanists were to see it.
Suzi my friend, thanks for your words! You will win the race for sure! No bet :-))
Celt, as you see in the last two pictures, they grow in the same branch.

It's great to see you posting, Axier!  When I was digging around in the beginning, I read all of yours and xon's posts here and in gardenweb!

I have bought Pon's book and I was interested in this variety as well for the same reason that you stated, it can ripen 15 days earlier which could mean the difference of a good crop and a so so crop for me.  Have you grown this variety before and these are also your observations for your climate?  It definitely looks like it could be a good candidate for Canada.

That's beautiful, I am eventually going to graft all three coll de dames onto one plant but early ripening is always a big plus.

Thanks for sharing axier

Very nice photos and presentation. Thank you Axier.

Nelson was reading my mind. I have been thinking to graft (at least three of these variants); Coll Dama Ciutat, Cdd Giganta, Dall'osso, Cdd Rimada, Cdd Roja and the CddB-N on my Cdd Noir. I have never done multi-grafting on figs, so it will be interesting.

Navid.

scroll back hypocrites!  You are the people that didn't want figs from Europe!
I have the cuttings in my hand.  It is what it is.. And my darling friend and his lady and all the kiddies are welcome.

Suzi,

I do not understand your statement. Please do not ruin this thread.

Navid.

what exactly is the name of this tree, i have seen like 5 names up there. i want one or 2 myself and dont want to get the wrong one. (that could be a expensive mistake).

I am guessing this tree is not grafted and grows this way normal?

got my attention.

OMG I am now a thread ruiner?

Axier and I are buddies.  That's a problem?  I don't understand, and I really don't understand  I'm a lady.  No testerone.  Just a girl that likes to grow figs and wine grapes.  So what is the big deal?

Axier, thanks for posting this.  It looks like an amazing variety.

Axier,
Thanks for the info.

You get the best of both worlds. Light vs Dark.
My mother who is 85 yrs old, prefers the dark figs. If you give her a bowl of dark and light figs mixed together, she'll eat the dark first.
I don't care what color they are, as long as they're good!

Thanks everybody.
Chivas, I have not grown this variety yet. What I say is what Monserrat's book says.
I hope to grow it soon and to verify it.
Garden_whisperer, the exact name is "Coll de Dama Blanca-Negra" and it is not grafted.
if you propagate a cutting of it, you will get the same.

Here, the mother tree:

wonder if jon has this one, or anybody else for that matter. please keep us posted on if it is found and if so where. this is one i want for my small collection for sure.

Axier,
     Thank you very much for the very interesting story and the good photos. The mutation on this particular tree is fascinating.

Ingevald 

Amazing.

Post 20 photo answered my question as to the possibility of two varieties growing together.

Might be here already.

 Had a guy working for me a few years ago,
he was from Mallorca and loved figs.
He would eat mine and tell me a story about a few  trees his
mom has in  Massachusetts, grown in containers.
He said the cutting was brought by her to US when they moved here.
It was from the tree in her parents backyard.

We've all heard similar stories.
But he told me the tree produces yellow/green and black figs on the same tree.
I didn't believe him, but he insisted it was true.
Thought he was joking with me, so I never asked for a cutting.

While I doubt its the same exact tree in this book
that is in the parents backyard in Mallorca,
that tree is probably not the only one on the island.

Going to try and track this old employee down
and get some cuttings from the tree in MA.

that would be real nice if the tree is already here.
