Another beautiful fig!

May I be the first to say "what a nice fig"!

Thank you tinyfish.

Vito that's a beautiful looking fig.
I bet it was delicious.
It looks like another to add to my Wishlist.

Absolutely beautiful fig, Vito! Thanks for sharing. I guess I have one more for my wish list, after all.

Now that is a NICE fig! What a great black color too. Wish list it is. But next year, I'm pretty much full out this year I think...

Wow! What a beautiful looking fig! Talk about a fig in the hand! WooHoo! I am definitely going to keep my eyes peeled for an opportunity at acquiring this variety! Congratulations and enjoy!

Awesome! I have already been keeping an eye out for this one:) This picture sealed the deal!

Delicious looking fig.
If it tastes as good as it looks, I'm sure you are going to pamper that fig tree like a baby.

Hi Vito,
Does this variety have much problem with splitting in rainy weather?

Hi Vito,
Beautiful looking fig. Congratulations!
I had a Sicilian Brogiotto Nero , But it could not ripen its figs. It's on vacation somewhere on my land(Not sure if it's still alive) . Did yours ripened its figs from year one. My Brogiotto Bianco is having the same problem. I'm thinking that it might need the wasp.
I am currently growing a Bourjasotte Noir but it is still tiny to bear fruit. I'm wondering if you ever compared the French Bourjasotte Noire Vs. your Brogiotto Nero and do you have any photos of the leaves

Beautiful fig! From the look, everything that you could want in a classic dark fig!

Thank you all for the nice comments.it is as good as it looks. Thank you Leon for such an awesome fig!

@ Ed, it is a late fig,I've not seen any splitting at all,it has a close eye,

@ SAS. It is definetely a late fig, I've been taking it in and out of my garage on cold nights, because it is such a beautiful and delicious fig,
I don't have the Bourjasotte noir to compare.
I'll take a picture of the leaves today(if it has any left

beautiful fig great job

When are the Brebas ripening?

Sas, this is a leaf from the Brogiotto Nero. It doesn't look like your's, but it's hard to judge because yours is still a young plant.

That's a very large leaf!

This is a beautiful fig!  Dates back to Roman times.
Who knows if it is the same as Bourjasotte Noire? 
They looks very similar but a picture only tells part of the story. 

My 2 cents:
Not much splitting
excellent texture and flavor
one of my new favorites.
I have been growing this variety now for 5 years and started 15 of them this year. 10 to sell and 5 for my orchard.
Absolutely worth the effort!!
As not a lot of marketing has been done on this one it is little known. 
My advise;  GET AT LEAST ONE AND GIVE IT A LOT OF ROOM.

thx,

Vito, Thank You for posting, Yes the leaves are not the same as my tiny Bourjasotte Black at this stage, but look awfully close to those of the Violette de Sollies. Unfortunately my tree already dropped its leaves but the fruit shape is also similar.

@Michael, Great advice. Figs falling into this category are some of the best tasting figs. I'm already growing a Bourjasotte Black,  Noire de Barbentane and Violette de Sollies. I'm told that these are cousins of each other.

How productive is your 5 year old tree?

Sas, I had it from a guy in Sollies Pont, France that Bourjasotte Noire is Violette de Sollies. I've seen other reports as well.

Hi,
It is admitted that VDS is a substrain of BN BUT VDS will start ripening the fruits 2 weeks before BN.
And if for us it means nothing, for the producers seeking to be the really first ones to have their fresh fruits on the market for the higher price, that little earliness  is of greatest value - or so said some producers in a reportage I saw.
Thus they keep their trees labeled VDS.
Legend or not ... I don't have any of those strains since they are nevertheless said to be a late variety and as such not suitable for my Zone7. (.. But with global warming ... I may "sooner or later" stand a chance ... )
Thus I'm trialing Bourjassotte Panaché aka Panaché in my garden...
My tree is still young but I had one ripe fruit this year. It was ok especially for a first fruit. There is always next year ... and just as a reminder: "Patience, patience , patience ..."

That's very interesting. I would have thought my info to be more correct being firsthand but that's life. I suppose it is similar to the case of bournisotte Noire, it is supposed to be a strain of Bourjasotte Noire. On French websites I see it's not existing or a synonym but here in U.S. it's a collected strain highly uncommon. Do you not grow these figs because of too much cold in winter or too short a season?

SAS,
It is productive. In a 15 gallon pot so it is not huge.
