more than likely Violet something or the other. truck is pronounced "doraku" or something. certain things just can not be pronounced properly. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

i won't be surprised if that thing is some what related to Black Madeira/Violeta/Fig Preto. japanese folks look for the very best. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

well... think of it this way, there is a huge Japanese community in Brazil. What figs are famous in Brazil? Hint:... Brazil speaks Portugese!

Just a little research for you. Google translator says Biore can mean Violett. Take a look at this link http://www.hawaiifruit.net/Figs-Japan.htm It suggests that only a relatively few varieties of figs are grown in Japan after the 1960's. Another link from this forum http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=6003318 shows a picture of a fig named Violette Dauphine (listed in the first link) or Violette De Argentueil. This link http://www.galgoni.com/ENG/Fotos_Maxi/015.htm to more Dauphine pics was further down the page The pics look similar in shape, eye, white dots on skin, and flesh. __________________ Tim Fort Wayne, IN Zone 5/6 (it keeps changing) Currently growing: Brown Turkey, Celeste, Kadota, White Texas EB Currently rooting: Alma, Black Madeira, Castle, Desert King, Dominicks Purple, Grasa Purple, Improved Celeste, Ischia Black, Ischia Green, VdB

that picture in above post is not Violet Dauphine. it doesn't have red stem, which is always the case with Violet Dauphines.

ビオレ-ソリエス pronunced Bioresoriesu "ビオレ"(Biore) means "violet" and I think "soriesu" maybe come from "Sollies" because it written by katakana alphabets. __________________ Wish List: Figo Preto, Black Bursa, Galicia Negra, Coll de Dama Gegantina

I thought VdS from the start. Classic shape and all. __________________ Especially desired figs: UCD 187-25, UCD 200-48, UCD 157-17, UCD 309-B1, Princesa, Black Madeira, high quality sugar fig that ripens Sept-Oct. Probable desired fig: Smith, St Jean, JH Adriatic, CddB, Gulbun, Pastilliere, Sucrette Rooting: Smith, CDDB--this pretty much means I have my fun tries (tho' important since they are truly desirable), and only interested for this year: Gulbun, BM, 187-25, or something wildly exotic or precious that nobody has any good reason to send me.

Correct! Violette Sollies. A relatively common fig grown in Japan. Mine originated there!
