Hello dear good old fig friends:-)

Help me please.

Last year, one of my friends gave this little fig tree to me.

and he told me 'It's a CDDN!'

but to my eye, it is not. absolutely not. I have a 3-4 years old CDDB. so I can tell.

leaf form/shape is totally different:-(

I've pointed it to him, but seems he does not agree. he still says it is a CDDN.

this little fig tree leaves looks like paulownia / the Empress tree-

please give me a some hint to guess it's correct name.

Have a nice day, regards THANKS!

 

p.s.my friends told to me 'it's came from marius'


More then likely CDDN. YOU CAN NEVER GO BY LEAF ON A YOUNG PLANT. TAKES A YEAR TO GET LEAVES THAT RESEMBLE THE TRUE VARIETY actually one branch of my cddg has leaves like yours. Will show pic tomorrow

I believe there is a col de dame brun as well as a col de dame noir.

Thank you for kind reply

and about CDDB... I have a CDDB came from Mnedelcu (thanks again) years ago.

though tree is in a young age(3 or 4 years) it produces many crops.

It makes a good ones, but I'm in wonder it meets it's vast reputations or not.

sweet and spicy, but to me, rdb is a better one:-)

CDDB fig seems has a character keeps its acidity to fully ripen. it's a good one.

 


I'd love to grow the CDD'S but the price on eBay is stupid. I had a Grise but lost it the past spring because of a freak cold snap and a false early spring... We live and learn though.

I'm deeply agree too:-)!! to my appetite, Ronde de Bordeaux is 10/10.
