Fig Id....Grise?

  • bent
  • · Edited

I saw this fig tree in southern Spain near Malaga in mid-August.  Any thoughts on what this might be?  Very strong berry flavor with lots of acidity.  Skin cracks a little when it ripens and turns an off-green color...(IE Grise?) but I didn't see any figs actually split. Skin was on the tough side but not extreme.

Thank you in advance for your help..I just fixed the Photos...I didn't realize there was a Photobucket problem these days :(

jdsfrance, thank you for letting me know.  I just fixed the Photos...they should show-up now.

There is a possibility of it being Col de Dame "Cuitat". Obviously I'm guessing but looks similar and the leaf shape you have is Col de Dame. I would send this picture to Montserrat Pons he may know of this tree.

Thank you brianm, I was wondering if it is in the Col de Dame family but thought it might be too early.  It was starting to ripen figs in early August; I thought the Col de Dame figs were much later.

On another note, is that an English version of the Montserrat Pons book? Isn't it only available in Spanish and Catalan?

Have you checked on the Cendrosa fig from the Barcelona area? Looks very similar.

English version and it looks very likely to be Cuitat. However I would reach out to MP for his opinion, heck he may even know about that tree
