This is Petite Aubique fig,"nephew" of Violette de Bordeaux,very similar in shape,taste and sweetness ,but different in size.      Marius

Marius, I am interested in the differences between the 2.  Which one is larger and more cold hardy?  Also can you give ma a taste comparison?  Thanks

 Hi Ed. Violette de Bordeaux is bigger in size,but Petite Aubique is more productive and early ripening.They taste identical,realy GOOD figs,but like i said,i had more than 60 figs on my 2 years old(in pot) Petite Aubique.Regarding how cold hardy they are,I have both of them inground also,and they die 80% every winter with a light protection,so...they are not cold hardy.  Marius
