Coll de Dama Rimada

I just got three beautiful cuttings of this cultivar(Spain).Before starting the rooting process...does anyone grow this varietie??...I've heard that it may be the Panache fig....but the pictures shows a very deep red interior and nice stripes,similar to Martinenca Rimada.Thanks.

I don't but I think you're the only person who does have it! Congrats and can't wait to see pics from it next year!

Marius I am assuming you looked at this thread but in case they have pictures of Rimada and seem to refer to it as a panache type:

Hmmmm,looks like it's a Panache variant....Will see...Thank you !

No it is a Col de dame. pinache is bordisotte Blanca rimada
There are many stripped figs out there
Look at the wood it's not striped most are not pinache/bordisotte Blanca rimada is

The figs, pear, large and showy, are yellow with a green striped very characteristic longitudinal and very striking. Are symmetrical in shape and uniform in dimensions. No abnormal growths or fruits have paired. The flesh is deep red color, very tasty; achenes few and small. The thin skin is tough, little cracked, but at the end of maturation has a fine cracks very little marked. Have good resistance to rain and dews, and transportation. They are very sensitive to the opening of the ostiole and detachment.

That is a rough translation I did from Pons books with good translate so it may be a bit off.

It has medium vigour, doesn't drop easily, no brevas (of course) but produces from sept 6- 24 oct in Mallorca so it will be a couple days later than the negra according to his data.  For uses he has it listed as it is for fresh consumption.

I got bummed out since it can split open easily (not sure how), but not from rain or dew at least.

Congratulations!  On to ebay glory!  Hope your "Spanish Connection" can get you lots of other exotic figs.   :)

Congratulations, this sounds like a great fig
