Presentation of the Bordissot blanca fig tree variety

The Bordissot blanca fig tree variety is an old variety native to the island of Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands of Spain. It is now recognized for its potential in professional orchards in France, particularly in southern regions with a Mediterranean climate. Appreciated for the exceptional quality of its fruit, its productivity, and its hardiness, it is a serious option for fruit growers wishing to diversify or strengthen their range of fresh figs.

Fruits: organoleptic and commercial characteristics

The fruit of the Bordissot blanca is distinguished by its red to light pink flesh , very sweet, juicy and fragrant. Its aromatic richness evokes notes of red fruits such as strawberry or blackberry, or even violet, which makes it a particularly sought-after variety for fresh consumption . Its green skin striped with yellow , which becomes golden when ripe , gives a beautiful visual appeal, reinforced by a slightly flattened round shape . The fruit reaches a medium to large size , between 40 and 50 grams, sometimes more depending on growing conditions.

The relatively thick skin offers good resistance to bursting in wet weather and facilitates post-harvest transport. These attributes not only allow fresh marketing in local markets or short circuits, but also open the way to use in jams or compotes , where the color and sweetness of the flesh are assets.

Production period and precocity

Information on the earliness of Bordissot blanca is sometimes divergent depending on the sources. It is most often considered a late uniferous variety , producing a single annual harvest from mid-August to early October . However, some observations under specific conditions report biferous behavior. This variability could depend on the clones or local agroclimatic conditions. In any case, the main harvest period is in late summer and early autumn, with abundant and spread-out production .

Agronomic characteristics of the Bordissot blanca fig tree

The tree is of great development , reaching 3 to 5 meters in height at maturity, with a bushy and spreading habit , typical of fig trees. Its vigor is high , and it has a good density of branches , favorable to a generous fruiting. The tree is self-fertile , which simplifies its integration in specialized orchards or in mixed crops, without requiring specific pollinators.

The Bordissot blanca fig tree is well adapted to dry conditions and tolerates calcareous soils , making it a good candidate for French Mediterranean terroirs. On the other hand, like all fig trees, it fears excess humidity and must be planted in well-drained soil to avoid the risk of root asphyxiation . No specific data indicate an increased vulnerability to diseases or parasites, which seems to confirm a general resilience appreciated in the context of a crop requiring few inputs.

Lifespan and cultivation management

Like most fig trees, the Bordissot blanca has an average lifespan of 50 years , or even more in good conditions. It can be grown ungrafted , without rootstock, which is often the case in France. If the use of a rootstock is necessary, fig trees grown from seed (Ficus carica) or the wild fig tree (Ficus carica var. caprificus) are the most commonly used.

Economic potential and professional recommendations

Bordissot blanca offers excellent economic potential for fig growers in France. Although precise figures on yield per tree are not available, the variety is described as very productive , with good consistency in harvests. Its ability to travel without alteration of quality, combined with a flesh of very high taste quality , makes it a prime candidate for short or niche distribution channels, but also for artisanal processing .

Its interest is reinforced in projects of diversification or promotion of local terroirs , where its Mediterranean origin and its adaptation to dry climatic conditions are major advantages. When planting, it is recommended to plan an adapted size to maintain good aeration of the branches and facilitate the harvest.

The Bordissot blanca variety thus represents a serious opportunity for professional fruit growers looking for a superior quality fig, well adapted to the agroclimatic contexts of southern France, with a distinctive flavor profile and good post-harvest stability.

The Bordissot blanca fig tree is a strategic variety for any arborist wishing to combine taste quality, resistance and adaptability.
