My friend Xon, is the Col de Dame the green variety or the Col de Dame Negra? What is another name for Figa Flor? Happy Easter!

Bon dia , Leon

The White coll de dama is less appreciated than Black ( Negra ). Here , mainly we prefer the dark figs.
The other one I think is the first crop of Roja . Figa Flor means breva in Catalan language.

Is the Coll de dama available in the states? what other names might it be under, since cole de dame is the green fig.
As we all know, figs will taste different according to the climate they were grown in. Mallorca has a long dry and hot summer perfect for figs.
cole de dame is a long season fig, and will not ripen on time for us in the northeast of US.

No , Coll de dama , not is a long season fig in my zone. Bordissot , Cendrosa , Henvernesca , Â and other figs ripen later than Coll de dama.
Coll de dama is a fig with high level sugar and has notes of honey and strawberry taste.
Cendrosa is more sugared than Coll de Dama , but without notes ,sometimes no ripens.
I donÂt know what is the natural limit to ripen the Coll de dama.
It is true , for the same variety the different taste depends of the climate.
If the fig variety is low level sugar you could grow this fig-tree in whatever climate and never you will achieve a high sugar level.
If the climate not is according to the variety is worse, the figs never ripen.
I think that we are amateurs , collectors or both and we can enlarge a little the limits but it is impossible for a commercial growing.
There are a lot of examples in this forum of this, with success and without.
In my case the Coll de dama that I'm growing in pots t, they ripen two week before than grown in ground.

Bass,
I've had Black Coll de Dama ripen in a pot, but not yet in the ground. It's still too early to say why the fig hasn't ripened from the ground tree, as it may just be a question of maturity of the tree. But you may be right too that the season here is just not long enough. The pot would allow it an earlier start than in the ground. I have the white in the ground too, and haven't had it ripen anything yet either. Herman has had some to ripen though. Don't know whether his were in a pot or the ground.

Gene:My col de Dame Wht,was in 41/4gall.bucket,wich in turn was buried 3/4,in the ground.
I found out it was too deep,as it was hard to dig it out.
Now i think 1/2 buried in the ground will be better.
