looking for assistance to identify a fig in our garden where it has been suggested by the UK National Collcetion holder that it may be Negronne.  The contact link on the website figsforfun does not work on my computer.  I have some photos of fruits and leaves and would also like information on this particular variety - in particular specific identifying features.  Is there a contact email for someone who could assist me with this?
Regards
Liz Edwards

A photo of Negronne aka Violette de Bordeaux can also be found on my website.  That photo is of a Breba crop Negronne with a very advanced form of the leaf.  A more common form of the Negronne leaf looks similar to the leaf of Petit Negri.  Some folks claim the two varieties are the same, but in my collection they are distinctly different in growth habit and clearly different in the meat color.

For reference, look at "Fig Varieties: A Monograph", downloadable as a PDF from my website:   http://sites.google.com/site/kiwifruitsalad2
