Traded a couple of my figs with a friend in the south of France and he gave me among others, this young fig rooted in the spring of 2013, assuring that it is a genuine Pastillière aka Rouge de Bordeaux. It's a small fruit but with great qualities. Francisco

Igor, Right! this one is not like yours Being one of the first cultivars immediately after the breba's time, this fig is not exceptionally sweet but in compensation is full of berry flavors and much aromatic. Francisco

That blue blush is what a proper Pastilliere is supposed to have, but I think that's the only way this fruit looks different than yours. __________________ 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.
