Description
Treat your taste buds to a fig like no other with our delectable Bourjassotte variety! Famous throughout Europe, these figs are known for their distinct and unrivaled flavor. With a characteristic deep purple skin, ribbed and cracked into a "beggar's robes" pattern, you'll know you've found a true delicacy. The flesh inside is a beautiful deep purplish-red, with a sweet and slightly tart taste that will tantalize your senses. This one-crop fig is a must-have in your garden, ripening over six weeks from September to October. Although not the hardiest tree, it makes up for it with its vigorous growth and sweet fruit.
The Arboreum Company:
Europe's most famous fig. The several color varieties of Bourjassottes were reputedly first found in the village of Burjasot, 19 km northwest of Valencia. But the Black , white, grey and striped figs of Burjasot are not mere color variants, but very distinct from each other. This, la figue noire de Bourjassotte, or 'Bourjassotte noire,' has been grown in every country around the western Mediterranean certainly since the XVI century, known as Brogiotto nero in Italy, Bernissou in Provence, Burjassotte Preto in Portugal.
Fruits are distinct and not mistaken for any other fig. Turbinate, characteristic deep purple skin, ribbed, skin checking and cracking when ripe into a pattern known in north Africa as "robes of the beggar," typical of the finest and sweetest figs. Flesh deep purplish-red, sweet and relieved by a distinct tartness.
A one-crop fig, ripening over six weeks for us in September - October. Tree not hardy but vigorous, rooting poorly from cuttings and in Europe more often propagated by grafting instead.
