Discover the Bordeaux Fig, also known as Goureau or Pear Fig, a purple variety that established itself despite two centuries of nomenclatural debates between botanists and pomologists.
This fig tree is distinguished by its slender habit and deeply cut leaves, producing fruits that are not abundant in summer but generous in autumn, recognizable by their elongated pear shape and their greenish to purple skin marked with furrows.
This plate from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807–1835) combines the rigor of scientific drawing with a rare artistic sensibility, emblematic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
