Saw this on the other forum

Is this the same Panache as Tiger? I read bourjassotte varieties are very good.

Its just an alternate name, there is only one Panachee. There are other names for the same fig, eg Bordisott Rimada, Bizzarria dei Sori, etc.

Looking at the Google book seems like reading posts from a fig board one hundred years ago. Strange!

2016 Update - more figs this year and one fig is green in first photo. Why is this?

Panache is a chimera and occasionally limbs will revert -- wood and fruit will not be variegated. It will still taste just as good, just without the stripes. I have a couple reverted limbs on mine, and so does the huge Panache tree at Prusch Park. Seems to be pretty common. Jon on the F4F called a reverted Panache tree "Reverse." If you'd like to keep the tree 100% chimeric, you can prune off any reverted regions.

This good to know, Sarah. I'll just tag the reverted limb and set an airlayer nest spring.

I considered doing the same to my reverted brances, but decided I liked the look of a tree with solid figs next to striped ones. I also remembered reading someone's report somewhere that they thought the Reverse figs ripened sooner. Don't know if this is generally true or were separate trees and due to minor changes in location etc., but wouldn't be a bad thing.
