Nordland Fig

Nordland is most commonly treated by fig collectors as a synonym for the French heirloom Longue d'Aout, one of the earliest-ripening fig varieties, with green skin, red pulp, and dense, flavorful flesh. That said, the "Nordland" name itself has been specifically flagged by detailed fig-collector research as questionable — its true geographic origin (German, French, Swiss, and American claims all circulate) is not settled, and at least one thorough collector analysis treats the name as unreliable rather than a confirmed, distinct identity. Some sources place it in Switzerland specifically under the Nordland name. Given this real uncertainty, growers should treat "Nordland" labeling with some caution rather than as a confirmed distinct variety.
