I think the price of the Brogiotto Nero will go up as well the number of offerings on eBay :(

It does remind me the Black Madeira. Thanks for bringing this up

They certainly look the same.  A quick search for Brogiotto Nero will net you many synonyms, but I haven't found Black Madeira.
Having never tasted Brogiotto Nero I can't make an accurate comparison, but there are growers on this forum who have.  From
what I'm reading it's a variety I'd like to try.  Anyone with more input?

When I first saw Blk Madeira for sale on Ebay..I talk to Fransisco and he told me he is going to visit Madeira..I ask him to find any info about this fig..He went, talk to all nursery he found and found no info..they never hear about such variety..
So, I was wondering about what this is all this time..
But after seeing this pic on Paolo web this is just hit me.. This must be Brogiooto Nero, but people who grow this fig in they back yard just was don't know about it, or forgot, because this one grow a very long time and they real don't care remembering what this was.. One thing good some people have this variety here..
I need go to work, but when I will get back home..I will put some info about Brogiotto Nero..
Thank you!
Olga.

Thanks Olga.

The leaves on Black Madeira/Figo Preto are very distinctive.  So it would be interesting to see leaves of the Brogiotto Nero for comparison.

Hershell, take a look at this post A fella from Italy posted these photos a couple of years ago of the Dall "Osso fruit

Hi Olga,
People in Madeira not knowing about "black madeira" is normal ... "Madeira preta" perhaps but never "Black" .
In most countries around the Mediterranean sea , people don't care for names and classification as long as the fruit is good and they can grow it, they do.

Now the question is: "Who is growing brogiotto nero aka bourgeassotte noire ? " and can document it.
"bourgeassotte noire" is known to be a late ripening variety as well...
Out of the hat, Bourgeassotte  or bourjassotte is described as a big tree ... Last time I read about "Black Madeira", it was a slow growing tree ...
So, could be and could not be ...
Bourjassotte is an old known strain ... Since even a stripped version does exist as Panache's full name is "bourjassotte panachée"

We don't ask about Black, Preto.. Picture of fruits and leaves was shown to nurseries and private collectors..
I was thinking about Boujassotte noire.. And was thinking this was change just in translation from Italian to French..
Interesting to ask here people who have both Brogiotto Nero and Bourjasotte Noire.. And here they opinion if this two the same..
Also Brojiooto Florentino..This is what I want speak here..
In list of one nursery in Tuscany they have 2 Brogiotto Nero:

Brogiotto Nero o Fiorentino - Tra i fichi neri di Toscana,sicuramente ilpiù saporito. Frutto medio, schiacciato e con  peduncolo corto.  Maturazione molto tardiva.

Of the black figs in Tuscany, this variety is considered to be among the tastiest. The fruit is medium sized, with a short stalk giving it a flattened appearance. It ripens very late.
And another one:

Brogiotto Nero Romano - Simile al precedente ma con frutto più allungato.

Similar to Branziolo,  but with a more elongated fruit.

Paolo have on his list just Brogiooto Nero and I think he must be speaking about Brogiotto Nero o Fiorentino..
Frank I real like your translation better, so I hope you Ok with me using here your translation..
May be Brojiotto Florentino again just was change in translation?
And picture of leaves what Dave post here and on my Blk Madeira look very similar..
Sorry for red color..Don't know why this now start be in red..

I don't saying anything wrong with people don't know or care about remembering name of variety..
I speaking this was great idea to bring here this variety so other people can have this one here too..
We all here looking for great tasting figs..At list I do..
And when I see great looking fig and people speaking the taste is great..I want it..
Still.. interesting to find out from where some figs come.. And seems like I keep having questions.. all the time..
For example.. Galisia negra.. I real hope one day I will find out what real name this one have..
Also Early Violet here and in Hungary are the same variety..
And I do have many questions like this..
And I keep looking for answers..Because this make interesting.. to study, find something new all the time..
I love eat figs..But.. I always love to study anything new I can find out about them..
But..I guess.. this is why..I'm a fig nut...And I talk about figs every and each day..
And I'm very happy when people willing to help, share info, speaking about they experience...
People asking me.. are you ever will stop.. looking and buying..
I did try before to stop and fail..So no..I will continue..
This way I'm happy..
Olga.

Dave, you should not do that to me. That is torture!

I lost it. Oh well! At that price that makes me the winner.

$512.00= InFigsanity
Congratulations to you Olga. You found the latest "gotta have" tree

I'm personally think this is crazy.. And I'm very sorry we be able to bring only very few Dall'Osso here...
But good news..I think soon here in US more people will have Dall'Osso then in Italy..
And..I need to say Thank you to Navid..Few years back he was speaking about Dall'Osso non stop.. And first I don't pay any attention..But after awhile I decide to search info about it.. And here we are..

By the way, we all suffer from this InFigSanity. Nothing personal to the lucky person who won it. it is a strange effect this ficus has on us.
Hard to explain to others

I know..I'm working non stop and spending all money on figs..
My husband thinking I lost my mind..And promising me when I die to run all my figs over with his tractor..
So, I just trying to stay alive...:-)

LOL!  Fortunately, my wife has not shared any such plans for my figs!

This is because you are lucky:-)
This is interesting..My husband 100% Italian.. And he hate figs..here on forum so many Italian men who love figs..
My husband love only his guns...
Olga.

Congratulations, Olga!

Olga, enjoy all your figs. :)

My father was 100% Italian. Figs? He couldn't care less. But he was a avid vegetable gardener who loved opera and making wine. Guns? Not so much.

Olga, your figs are well guarded by your husband. I can attest to the bulls eye score board in your back yard.
Its definitely not a paint ball bulls eye. This must be a record bid for a fig plant. Its more money than my flight
there and back. Looks like I get a bigger pork roast.....ha ha ha.

Gina, a member sold an Italian 258 for $1500.00 on ebay last year. I think that's the record.

Herschel you're losing your touch  LOL

The decimal kept me from winning. Dave did you get my text?
