St Dominique Violette - photo to come
This fig originates from France. It is a larger fig with a lighter purple skin with a great intense flavour. It is not as rare as other cultivars and can be picked up in some nurseries if you are lucky.
There is a bit of literature about it in various sources. The best source is The Rare and Heritage Furit Cultivar who notes the St Dominque was listed in a report by George Neilson for the for the RVHS gardens at Burnley in 1875. It is also said to be listed in Goodman’s Fruit Catalogues of 1905 – 1911, by Law Sumner in 1915 up until the 1930s.
Whilst I have never visited it, there is said to be a wax replica fig called “Saint Dominique Violet” at the Science Works Museum in Victoria, Australia.
