Violeta - 2015

Thanks for the correction about the Côte and the more specific details about Preto and Black Madeira's native growing conditions. Hopefully, within the next couple of years I will be able to report back from experience about how similar they are, growing in my climate and geography.

Does this variety ripen earlier in the season than BM or Preto?

Under similar conditions and environment Violeta,Preto or BM should be producing figs by about the same time.

In my area, grounded Violeta will initiate ripening figs by now and if weather helps it will keep doing so through August, September and October..

This post shows still plenty of ripe and great quality Violetas in October

It is, according to Francisco's notes in other threads. The same cultivar got different names as it travelled the world.
