Very nice find Bass, that seems to be pics of some of the Baud figs I have seen similar photos on the web. That Hava fig looks quite interesting.

Yes they're Baud's figs. I came across it as I was doing a search for Mid Eastern figs calls Shenshary, he has it and others from the region. 

Thanks for the sight Bass nice looking figs.

Thanks Bass! Good to see some (dark) figs (new to me) to wonder about...pulp & taste? Need to explore the site a little more to see if there is an accompanying page of cut figs.

I was going to comment on the Hava fig but Nelson has already said it nicely "That Hava fig looks quite interesting".
Also, while looking at different darl figs, I noticed so much similarity in the fruit and fruit stem colour of Pastillier, Rond de Bordeaux, Sultane and Hava (though Hava is small and different shape, at least in these pictures).

Nelson posted this link a while back << click each picture to enlarge >>

As for that picture of Hava, See this:

http://figs4fun.com/Var_R_info.html#ROUGEDEBORDEAUX

Note that is "Rouge de Bordeaux" which looks like Hava, not "Ronde de Bordeaux".

It may be a diff't fig, but man ... the skin, the flat color, the size and shape, smooth skin, looks damned near the same.

I'd love to have it.

Hava reminds me of the fig I saw at UC davis Hybrid 0023.

I have a couple DFIC0023 Hybrid trees available. One of the most gorgeous looking figs ever.

I'm gonna give one a try here, I'm hoping that it can fruit. 

john

does the DFIC0023 fig need caprfication?

Gorgeous looking but how's the taste?

Wich fig is this on the Varietal Page? What name is it under I mean

@Nelson, I think Palmata Hybrid:  http://figs4fun.com/Var_P_info.html#PALMATAHYBRID

It sounds like it's a cross between Ficus Palmatum and Ficus Carica, hence the "Hybrid" name.  See:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4862584

Thanks Jason, thats what I was thinking but noticed it did not have the dfic # on the bottom like Jon usually has. Very nice looking fig indeed and the plant looks really nice too seen photos before, now the main question is will it fruit for us without the wasp ?

I had a DFIC0023 Palmata x Carica hybrid a while back.

Here's the ripe fruit of the Ficus Palmata, it is grown for fruit in the Hamalayas region of India. The fruit is described as very sweet and juicy. 

My only question would be what is the elevation at the site and how long does a fig wasp have the potential to pollinate?

Per the description "very common occurrence at places up to 1,550 metres above the sea-level". Not sure if fig wasps survive that cold and elevation. 

Bass,

Thanks for posting that original link which showed some of the Baud figs.

Besides the "lost" LSU figs that I collect, Baud figs are the one's I am adding to my collection. I'm still trying to find the small fig known as Marseillaise (not the larger one known as Marseille). By any chance do you have the Marseillaise cultivar?? I also wonder if Yellow Neches (an heirloom fig) is the same as Marseillaise.......

Semper Fi-cus

F.palmata is one of many other (1000's) ficus species on earth  and is not the same

Mine are too small to fruit yet.
Do not know about caprification reqs until it fruits somewhere other than Davis

Pix are under "Hybrid". i don't have the 2010 pix at Davis posted yet.

Taste was good.
