Ronde de Bordeaux Fig Tree

Early Ripening and Hardy

Ronde de Bordeaux (RdB) is one of the best fig varieties for growing in the British climate. This French variety is particularly valued for its exceptionally early ripening, good cold hardiness and reliable main crop, even in regions with relatively short, cool summers.

The tree produces small to medium-sized, dark purple to almost black figs with rich, sweet, deep-red flesh and an excellent berry-like flavour. Although the fruits are smaller than those of Brown Turkey, their outstanding flavour and early maturity make them particularly desirable.

Ronde de Bordeaux is a vigorous, productive variety that can be grown outdoors in a sunny, sheltered position or successfully cultivated in a large container. Its early main crop makes it an excellent choice for UK gardeners who want delicious, home-grown figs without depending on a greenhouse or polytunnel.

This is one of our top recommendations for reliable outdoor fig production in the UK.
