Violette de Bordeaux Fig Tree: A Remarkable Fruit-Bearing Plant

The Violette de Bordeaux fig is a prized fruit-bearing variety of Ficus carica, celebrated for its rich, sweet flavor and excellent adaptability. Gardeners searching for a Violette de Bordeaux fig tree for sale will find it an easy-to-maintain choice, thriving in zones 5-10 with minimal care. Among popular fig varieties, this tree stands out for its ability to produce abundant crops even with some winter protection in cooler climates. Its hardiness and delicious fruit make the Violette de Bordeaux fig tree a favorite among both novice and experienced fruit enthusiasts.

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.

  1. Fresh Eating: Enjoy straight from the tree for a naturally sweet snack.

  2. Drying: Drying intensifies the fig’s natural sugars, making them perfect for long-term storage.

  3. Jams and Preserves: The jam-like texture of these figs makes them ideal for homemade preserves.

  4. Baking: A delicious addition to fig cakes, tarts, and bread.

4 Paws up! My dogs LOVE them
Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large, Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large
I have 2 large dogs who LOVE THESE. A Great Pyrenees mix who’s a skinny 80lbs and a lab/terrier mix who’s a chunky 50lbs. They both love bones and can REALLY chew through them quickly so I’m really picky about what I buy them. Here is what is important to me and how I rate and choose bones. These are my comments on this bone set specifically: Do they break/splinter? -They don’t splinter, I have seen smaller pieces that have broken off and when the bone gets down to the end (but this is normal with bones) at which point those pieces can be thrown away. I have never had an issue with them choking, being too small or hurting my dogs though and they are aggressive chewers so I could see this happening with some dogs and never happening with others. 4/5 stars for this. Do they smell/leave stains on the carpet? -Nope! No odor and they actually leave my dogs breath smelling better and their teeth cleaner! 5/5 stars Does it upset my dog’s stomach? (My bigger guy can’t tolerate a LOT of things, he vomits often and also gets diarrhea if he eats the “wrong” thing so I have to be very cautious.) -NOT at all! No upset tummies. This is always very, very important to me. Make sure you have lots of water nearby for your pups though, these will make them very thirsty. 5/5 stars Do they hurt my dogs tongue, mouth or teeth? -Nope, no issues with this. They’re able to gnaw into these aggressively without hurting themselves. 5/5 stars Are they gone in 2 seconds? -No! I’m always worried the “stuffed” bones will be left in the dust after the stuffing is all gone but my dogs will still keep chewing on these after the stuffing is gone. They still enjoy the bones and they last for quite some time, weeks at minimum. I can also stick some peanut butter or other treats back in the middle after they get the original stuffing all out of them to “reuse” them if it seems like they’re getting a little bored with them. 5/5 stars Do my dogs ACTUALLY LIKE THEM? -They love them. 5/5 stars Price? -Great and totally affordable. $20 for 3 of them.. so less than $7/bone. This is comparable to a bone from the pet store and these last a lot longer than something you would find there in the “fresh” grocery-store-like-section of the pet stores. I’m an avid review reader, especially when it comes to items for my fur babies because I want the best for them. I truly love these bones and will keep buying them. I will continue to buy these!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finally Found a Long-Lasting Bone That Actually Keeps My Dog Busy
Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large
I’ve tried a lot of filled bones and chew treats over the years, and most fall into two categories: gone in 5 minutes, or upset stomach later. These filled beef shank bones hit the sweet spot. The bone itself is thick, dense, and real, not a thin, brittle shell. My medium-large dog is an aggressive chewer, and this keeps him occupied for a solid 30–45 minutes working on the filling, then even longer gnawing on the bone afterward. The filling smells fresh and appetizing (not rancid or overly greasy), and my dog goes crazy for it. We’ve tried the cheese-style and peanut butter–style fillings, and both were a big hit. No crumbly mess, no weird residue, and no digestive issues so far. What I really appreciate is that these feel safer than many cheaper alternatives. The edges don’t splinter, and the bone wears down gradually instead of cracking. Why I’ll keep buying these: • Long-lasting even for power chewers • Real beef shank bone, not pressed junk • Filling dogs actually care about • Helps with boredom and anxiety • Good value compared to pet store brands Minor cons: • Can get a little smelly after heavy chewing • I supervise and take it away when it gets small (as with any bone) If you’re tired of wasting money on chews that disappear in minutes, these are a fantastic upgrade. My dog is obsessed, and I finally feel good about what I’m giving him.

Best bones out there
Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large
These are the best bones I’ve ever bought. I have a lab puppy and as you can imagine most bones don’t last long around here, but this one keeps him entertained for days.

Sturdy
Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large, Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large
Ok so I'm very happy that my standard poodle seemed to really enjoy this product. She was lacking and biting it for hours and days. That said she has still yet to make a dent in the bone. It seems to be too hard and too thick for her. I was surprised how heavy it was! It is large enough it is completely safe to leave her in the other room with. No strange odor or transfer of color. I'd say for the cost it isn't worth it as she is only getting filling and not able to eat the bone for some reason. Then again she is entertained for hours..so maybe so. Doesn't seem to bother her sensitive tummies either.
