No panache (bordisotte blamce rimada) is only one of a large number or stripped figs. There's even leopard figs.

Ralph, those trees would all very much be honored to have the company of Martinenca Rimada! Think of it as an investment! :)

Another nice looking one that's similar appearance is "Bordissotte Negra-Rimada".

That is the same fig that was auctioned on this forum by mnedelcu and won by Dave. And the one on ebay I believe is being sold by Bass with Tree's of Joy. Those might be some great people to ask about this fig variety.

Celt, the variegated fig varieties are a naturally appearing sport on known varieties, also known Chimera. Martinenca is usually a black variety in Balearics islands, and I'm assuming a branch of the tree that was discovered to have variegation was taken and propagated at some point. The same with panache, and other variegated types. The Rigata Rosa was selected from an Italian variety and probably similar but I doubt it is the same.

If it is beyond your budget (I know it eclipses mine), be patient. Wait a couple of years and it should be much more affordable. All the hot figs eventually come down as more folks acquire them. Who knows? You might get lucky and a generous member may get a cutting to you sooner. Happens all the time here. Good luck!

That is far too rich for my pre - lottery winning budget, but if I had the money and wanted it I'd go for it. It is true that the price will drop soon enough and trades happen all the time. I'm ill waiting for Galacia negra which, when available, goes for very high prices. Patience is the remedy for poorness.
