Bourjasotte Grise

Bourjasotte Grise is documented as far back as a 1907 agricultural report, "The Fig in Georgia," which specifically praised it as "particularly good, and an extremely productive variety," noting it bore fruit in heavy clusters and was well worthy of wider propagation — a genuine, century-old endorsement from Southern fig growers of that era. It is part of the broader family of gray-skinned French figs prized for rich flavor, and some collectors consider a related variety, Violet Sepor, to possibly be genetically identical based on informal comparison, describing it as a "Mt. Etna of premier figs." The fruit has grayish-purple skin and richly flavored red flesh, dense and sugary in texture, and it remains highly regarded among collectors as one of the best-tasting figs in the broader Col de Dame-adjacent family of gray/grise varieties.
