Breba crop or main? My nero600m put on exactly one breba. I'm hoping for it to ripen late this month or early next month. My main crop figs are still pea-sized! |

Thanks everyone. Think its,a breba. All the other figs on it are about nickle size. |

Congratulations. I have what looks like tiny figlets appearing for the first time on my second year N600. Was yours inside during the winter? We had a very mild winter, but still a long way from ripening any figs. |

Nero 600 M is not Violette de Bordeaux,however it is similar to Valle Negra(calda), but it can be different in health and vigor. |

Thanks herman. Its been dry and very hot and watering it did not effect the taste of the fruit and no splitting. |

Thank you vasile, I'm glad you made this point again. I've been reading alot lately where people think that nero 600m and vdb is the same exact fig. I know my vdb comes from nelson and his from Adriano and not edible landscape or ucd so I thought maybe my vdb was different because it does not look like my nero 600m at all. The figs look alike but not the trees. I think nero 600m and vdb were traded under the same name like we've seen with,so many other figs in the past. |

Most of these similar Bordeaux figs have been traded or sold with various names. One fig can be exchanged under several names or you can have several fig cultivars exchanged under the same name. There's no telling what you might exactly have other than a Bordeaux fig. I have six Bordeaux plants with four names. Ultimately I will keep the two best performers regards of the name. |

As I understand the original fig names in this fig group (according Hilgardia) are; Bordeaux (syns. Angélique Black or A. Noire, Petite Figue Violette, Albicougris, according to Eisen, Figue de Bordeaux, Violette, Violette de Bordeaux, Figue Poire, Petite Aubique, Figuo Aubiquoun, Negronne). |

Someone told me recently in another thread that RONDE DE BORDEAUX WAS INTRODUCED BY BASS. SORRYFOR THE CAPS. LOL. SEEMS TO BE A OLD VARIETY |

That's right Richie, I believe bass introduced it to the US but no telling how long it's been in France. |

RdB definitely came from France. I seem to remember that Baud in France has been a long-time source for it but who knows where exactly it originated and who originally made it famous. |

Another good point. I've never looked at my vdb and rdb being similar but I'm sure that some think so because they both have bourdeaux in the name. |

Aubique petite as I understoid it was a bud sport of aubisque Noire, and I can say 100% that it's not VDB |
