CDD Bordeaux Fig

✓ Verified

Also known as: Coll de Dama Bordeaux

Possibly a Bordeaux-region strain or hybrid within the Coll de Dama lineage

This entry could not be verified as a real, distinct fig variety through available research. The well-documented Col de Dame (CDD) family includes Blanc, Gris, Noir, and Bordissotenca; "Bordeaux" appears to be used by some fig databases as a flavor-profile descriptor (rich, berry, jammy) applied to Col de Dame entries generally, rather than a separate named cultivar. If you have a specific source confirming this as its own variety, please share it so this description can be corrected with real information rather than left as a placeholder.
