Fig ‘Violette De Bordeaux’

Fig ‘Violette de Bordeaux’ is a particularly hardy fig variety. Dating from around 1680, it was found to thrive in the gardens of the palace of Versailles during the cold winter months. The small, purple black figs have a marvellous perfume and a lovely sweet flavour. Fig ‘Violette de Bordeaux’ produces two crops per year, and if protected over winter the second crop will ripen early during the following summer. Height: 3m (9′). Spread: 4m (13′).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
