Figs
Aubique Fig
✓ VerifiedFrance (traditional)
This variety is likely related to the Aubique family already partly documented in this database under "Petite Aubique" (itself connected to Violette de Bordeaux/Negronne). Without the "petite" qualifier, this entry may represent a separate, larger-fruited member of the same French Aubique naming tradition, though I was not able to confirm this distinction through available research. If you have a more specific source, it can be corrected with real information.
