Hello fransisco,
It may be another variety than Bouhouli, although it is a very good fig
there are many types of figs in Tunisia.
Don't worry i am sure to get some authentics Bouhoulis when i 'll return in Tunisia.
if you are ineterested in this varierty tell me.
I will try to make some pics of the plant and the fruits on it.

Hello,
I get an enracined cutting from Tunisia 1,5 years ago, and plant it in my garden here in France , this the first year that it gets fruits at maturity, and i am surprised of the very good bouhouli 1.jpeg

taste of these quite big figs because of the less sunny weather in France than in Tunisia, the fruit are delicious.
i think thi fig tree is a good candidat for acclimation here;
Hey Francisco if you want cuttings from this variety i think it's Bouhouli variety..
Regards.

Hey Fransisco,
I know the variety "Bouhouli" as it is a protected labelled variety in Tunisia ,these figs are mostly producted in Beja and known as "Djebba figs" ("Figues de Djebba" in French) in Tunsia wich is "bouhouli" variety origin in the north ouest of the country, unfortunatly i still not have it in culture but in the future i will get somes as the figs are commercialised in the stores as the Djebba figs 'appelation d'origine controlèe".
So I will certainly can get seeds from fruits next year or cuttings from a friend..
best wishes.

Hello;
i would like to show the figs that i have collected today on an old tree here in south France near the basque country, these figs are known here as the "Country figs" ( figues de Pays) as they are indigenous for a long time in the area.
I think they are like Celeste variety , these are the best tasty figs that i ever eat, truly honey inside and kilos of them on the floor and on the tree..
Quite happy to have found this tree, and have taken sommes suckers..

Phoenicians (from actual Syria and lebanon )
and after carthaginians (wich are phonicians installed in north Africa espacially in actual Tunisia) )
introduce the culture of fig trees and propagate it all around the mediteranean world during the antiquity .
Romans were affaid of the commercial power of this delicious fruit ( figs) in the ancient town of Carthage ( eternel rival of Rome in the antiquity period)..
