I bought this fig 3 years ago from the Danforth (Greek Town) and was my very first fig.  It was labeled "Bugasota" and has been planted in-ground for 3 years now.  This is my first year for it to have any significant yield (about 50-60 breba).

As you can see, it's a fairly large fig, was very sweet and juicy. My sister in-laws actually liked it more than the black mission figs we got from the local grocery store in Little Italy (Italian part of town in Toronto).  Anyone got any idea what it might be? 

Note:  Last year, the pulp was bright red, but seems to be much lighter this year.

Hi ccc1

>>> It was labeled "Bugasota"
I never heard of the name, and if it was labeled as
such, it should be so!
Unless you think that it was really an unkown fig dubbed
as such. Contact the source and ask if possible.

To me the fig looks very big and quite unique.


Thanks!  Actually, I don't even remember which store I bought it from.  It was being sold at a variety store where I stopped to grab a pop or chips.  I also searched around and no one seems to have heard of this variety.

Oh well, I'll keep the name for this variety for now.  The most important thing about it is that the fruits taste good!  =)


It sounds a lot like Bourjassote - and it looks similar to Boujassote Grise.
