Hi
I bought a Violette Bourdeau (sp) fig and planted in Pearl River, La 
(southern LA). It grew well, upwards...unlike other figs I had..not 
spreading much but very high....It had lots of purple figs and they formed 
off the main limbs. None were edible...all dry and leathery and tasteless. 
The leaves were delicate and "fingery" looking. Can't remember where I got 
it. Kept waiting for a year it would make edible figs...it's still growing 
like a weed there...I moved. I did bring a cutting with me to MS, just to 
have it.
