Coll de Dama Rimada MP This is a yellow and green striped fruit. Sugars were not fully developed despite intensifying degradation of the skin. I had little choice but to pick it. I am showing a Panachee for contrast, Panachee are green and white. My two Rimada plants are both true but show different leaf patterns, shown here.

Still, a beautiful fig.

Hi Rafael.
Beautiful looking fig, enjoy.
How does it compare to panachee?

Great looking fig. Would also be interested in how it compares to panachee.

I wish I could say either of these figs performed up to their potential this year but a lot of my figs have just tasted watery or bland at times. I do expect the Rimada to be a better fig over time, if only because Col de Dame is the standard for me. The store bought Panachees I have been eating have a rich, citrusy taste and that shows me that Panachee has great potential as well.

This one ripened today, finished in the greenhouse. Split a bit, mashed a bit, sorry bout that.
