Figs
Longue d'Aout
France (also known as Nordland)
Longue d'Aout is a traditional French fig whose name translates as "long [fig] of August," describing both its notably elongated shape and its typical ripening in that month. It circulates under the synonym Nordland in some collector and grower circles — the exact relationship between this specific French variety and the cold-hardy "Nordland" fig marketed for far-northern climates is not entirely settled among collectors, and the two may or may not be the same underlying tree. I was not able to find further documented origin detail beyond its inclusion on multiple collectors' recommended-variety lists.
