Characteristics of the Violette de Bordeaux Fig Tree

This fig tree is a compact, deciduous variety, making it ideal for both large gardens and small spaces. It grows to a height of 5 to 10 feet and features deeply lobed, dark green leaves that add lush greenery to any garden. The Violette de Bordeaux produces small to medium-sized figs with dark purple to black skin and a deep red, jam-like pulp. The sweet, rich flavor makes it one of the most sought-after figs for fresh eating and preservation.

Fig Growing and Care

One of the advantages of growing the Violette de Bordeaux Fig Tree is its adaptability to different climates. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-10, making it an excellent choice for a variety of growing conditions. To ensure a successful harvest, consider these essential care tips:

  1. Sunlight: This fig tree thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to promote strong growth and fruit development.

  2. Soil: Prefers well-draining, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amending the soil with organic matter helps improve drainage and nutrient availability.

  3. Watering: While mature fig trees are somewhat drought-tolerant, consistent watering is crucial in the first few years of growth. Deep, infrequent watering encourages a strong root system.

  4. Pruning: Regular pruning during the dormant winter months helps maintain the tree’s structure, improve air circulation, and enhance fruit production.

Resilience Against Pests and Disease

Violette de Bordeaux figs exhibit good resistance to pests and disease, making them a low-maintenance addition to any orchard or garden. However, keeping an eye out for common fig pests such as aphids, scale insects, and spider mites will help ensure a healthy tree. Proper pruning and well-drained soil help prevent fungal infections and root rot.

Great value: These are my go-to work from home shirt
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by these shirts and wear them weekly for Zoom calls, since I’m still working from home these days. I figured at the price point it was worth trying them out, and now I’ve bought several in different colors. They aren’t super soft, but they are comfy and look nice. I’m 6’1” ~220 pounds, and the XL slim fit still has plenty of room. I imagine the regular cut is incredibly boxy and oversized. The difference between polyester vs recycled polyester is inconsequential. I typically buy expensive golf shirts, and these definitely aren’t as nice. They are a fraction of the cost though and a great “beater” work shirt / hang out shirt. It’s nice wearing something that looks and feels decent, but if something happens to it, you can toss and it and pick up another for the cost of a chipotle burrito.

Great price, not great quality
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Simple, straight forward all black polo. I am a size medium woman (with some room since I don't like form-fitting) and bought a men's small. Fits perfectly for my frame. Long enough to tuck in for my part-time extra weekend job uniform. Also suitable for the golf course. A little thin, and if you hold it up to light you can sort of see through it. *Not* flowy, soft and smooth fabric like a rash guard/sun shirt - more structured than that. But it's cool and does the job for the price under $10.
