Are Ronde de Bordeaux and Rouge de Bordeaux one and the same? If not, are they similar? I noticed UCD has Rouge de Bordeaux but not Ronde. I was wondering if they are synonymous. Thanks! __________________ California Central Coast Zone 9 Wish List: Figo Preto/Black Madeira, I-258, Genovese Nero

No. Not the same. Rouge de Bordeaux is synonymous with Pastilliere, however.

There are a few dark french figs that get discussed quite a bit here: Pastiliere aka Rouge de Bordeaux Ronde de Bordeaux Negronne aka Violette de Bordeaux (and a smaller but very productive version, Petite Negri) Violette de Solliès aka Bourjassotte Noire Ronde de Bordeaux ("RdB") -- we avoid using RdB for the Rouge de Bordeaux -- is well-regarded here in the States and has distinctive slender, finger-like lobes on the leaves--especially on young plants. It bears early in the season which makes it special for growers with short summers. Keep in mind synonyms are often used for various varieties, so these AKAs aren't necessarily true all the time. __________________ Rick C.

Hi Paul, here are a couple of pics of my Rouge de Bordeaux (Pastiliere) from last season. First fig from a young plant, but excellent, as is Ronde de Bordeaux. __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross

I believe it has very low fig retention rates without the wasp. __________________ Nick- Youtube: PA Figs \| eBay: tdepoala Zone 6B/7A - Douglassville, PA Wish list - Galicia Negra, Paritjal Rimada, Black Ischia UCD
