Figs
Blanquette Fig
✓ VerifiedFrance (traditional)
I was not able to find documented origin history for Blanquette through available research beyond its French/Occitan name, meaning roughly "little white one," a likely reference to pale skin color. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
