Grosse Verte Fig
✓ VerifiedAlso known as: Verdone, Adriatic, Fico de Fragola, White Adriatic, Strawberry
France (traditional)
Grosse Verte is documented, per the same 1955 synonym record referenced in this database's Verdone/Adriatic correction, as one of the recognized alternate names for that variety — Verdone (renamed Adriatic in the US after 1865) was also known as Grosse Verte, Strawberry, Fico de Fragola, and White Adriatic. This entry likely represents a duplicate of the already-corrected Verdone Fig entry rather than a genuinely distinct cultivar.
