Coucourelle Noire Fig

✓ Verified

Provence, France (traditional)

I was not able to find documented origin history for Coucourelle Noire through available research beyond its consistent appearance alongside Coucourelle Blanche on French and Portuguese fig-collector variety lists. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
