Ronde de Bordeaux (RDB) Fig

Common Names: Ronde de Bordeaux, RDB

Photo display only. Ronde de Bordeaux is a top tier French fig that thrives in Perth. It is famous for being one of the earliest ripening varieties, often ready to pick in early summer. The fruit is small to medium with a dark, almost black skin and a deep red interior.

It has a very intense berry flavour and a jammy texture that beats most standard garden varieties.

pH growing conditions: 6.0 to 7.5

Shade or full sun: Full sun

Minimum pot year 5: 50L pot

RDB is a vigorous grower and very hardy. It handles the Perth heat well and is more resistant to fruit splitting during summer rains than other figs. It has beautiful, deeply lobed leaves that look great in any garden. Because it is a smaller fruit, it dries well on the tree and is perfect for eating fresh or making premium jams.

Interesting Notes:

This variety is highly sought after by rare fruit collectors for its rich flavour profile. It is a reliable cropper even in its first few years. If you want a gourmet fig that produces early and handles the heat, this is the one.
