but does not match the description in the F4F database. I got it as a very young tree 1 year ago from an ebay seller who is on the reputable list. I tasted the first fig today and it is terrific. Quite sweet with light crunch, thin skin, jammy and with a hint of cantaloupe. I'm really happy with it, but afraid it may be mis-labelled. Badalhouce is a Portuguese variety with a greenish yellow skin and carmine interior, according to info I can find, which is very little.  

 Any ideas on this one? Thanks. 
 
 

Gary,

This variety is mentioned on a number of old publications but I have never seen the fruit itself. May be under a different name..?
Who was the seller ?

Hello, Francisco.

The seller was Cory in West Virginia. Seller id johnsvmf1. His dad Vinnie, is a member and collector. I've messaged him to get his thoughts. There is very little info on this fig that I can find. Adriano's site lists Bagelhouce, the Moonshine fig from the Azores, a small, white, very sweet fig.

 

Gary,

Badalhouce is an old Portuguese word rooted in the Iberian Arabic of the Middle Ages, apparently the name of the Spanish border town where today is Badajoz, right on the  eastern Portuguese border.
The Badalhouce fig has apparently one synonym (to my knowledge) - Bacalar.
This variety could well be originated in that particular border area. I am trying to find more from a 'specialist' .
Could have rooted it a couple of years ago but for lack of space decided on another fig which fruit I will try to show on another topic - 'sopa e vinho'
