Gourmet Flavor Profile: Experience the "King of Figs." Unlike standard grocery store figs, the Violette de Bordeaux (also known as Negronne) produces small, purple-black fruit with a deep red interior that tastes undeniably like sweet raspberry jam. It is widely considered by chefs and growers to be the finest tasting fig in the world.

Bring the Taste of France to Your Backyard
Imagine stepping onto your patio and plucking a ripe, sun-warmed fig that tastes like pure raspberry jam. The Violette de Bordeaux (often called Negronne) is a legendary French variety that offers a culinary experience you simply cannot buy in a supermarket. With its dark purple-black skin and vibrant strawberry-red flesh, this fruit is a gourmet delicacy that you can easily grow at home.

The Ultimate Patio Fruit Tree
While many fruit trees require acres of land, the Violette de Bordeaux is a natural dwarf. It is perfectly suited for container gardening, happy to live its life in a large pot on a deck or balcony. Despite its compact stature, it is a heavy producer, yielding two harvests a year—an early "breba" crop in late spring and a prolific main crop in the fall.

Hardy, Beautiful, and Productive
This variety is beloved not just for its flavor, but for its resilience. It is one of the most cold-hardy figs available, thriving in USDA Zones 6-10 (with some protection in the coldest zones). Its deeply lobed leaves give it an exotic, tropical look that enhances the aesthetic of any garden. Whether planted in the ground as an ornamental shrub or kept in a pot, it adds immediate value to your landscape.

Simple Steps to Harvest
We ship these plants at a healthy 5-9 inch height, giving you a head start on the growing season. Figs love the sun—the more light you give them, the sweeter the fruit. They are low-maintenance, requiring only moderate watering and a little fertilizer in the spring. Because they are self-pollinating, you only need one plant to enjoy a bountiful harvest.
