Is anyone familiar with this fig variety?

No.  I googled Verde de Bordeaux and the only hits were ebay sales.  So if it is a legit variety it is a very obscure one.

Thanks, thats exactly what I did. I actually purchased these before finding this forum and reading about scammers. This came from ebay.:-(

I wonder if it is a Bordeaux at all, or maybe the seller tried to change the name a little as to not get "caught" reselling cuttings. Hopefully as it grows I will be able to post more photos and maybe someone could identify it?

I messaged the person about it and I don't think they know that the "V" in "VdB" stands for "Violette" and not "Verde."

Also, Violette de Bordeaux is French. I mean...
