Description
Panache, like many other variagated figs can revert back to solid color. In this case, Panache would become Reverse. Panache is a sport of Bordissot Blanca Rimada.
Take notes... From Ben B. on his post:
Bizzarria di Sori (syn.Panascè/Panachè) -
With green and yellow striped fruits, this is truly a unique fig and worthy of the name Bizzaria. The rose colored flesh is of good flavor. Produces a breba and a main crop. This variety is typical of Liguria and the Côte d'Azur.
Condit Monograph:
Panachée: (syns. Figa Turca, Maravilla, Princessa, Rayonne, Courgette Rayée, Jaspée, Limone, Bourjassotte Panache e, Père Hilarion, Striped, Tiger, Zigarella, Col di Signora Panachée, Variegato, Fracazzano Rigato, Bracotedesco, Ficus carica radiata Risso, Ficus pachycarpa var. fasciata Gasparrini). Described by Risso (1826), Gasparrini (1845), Audibert Frères (1854), Hogg (1866), Pasquale (1876), Barron (1869b, 1891), Soc. Pomol. de France (1887, 1947), Eisen (1888, 1901), Sauvaigo (1889), Colby (1894), Cusin (1900), Trabut (1904), Starnes and Monroe (1907), Vallese (1909), Roeding (1914), Borg (1922), Condit (1921b, 1928b, 1947), Davis (1928), Blin (1942), and Simonet et al. (1945). Illustrated in color by Barron (1869b) and Condit (1941a). Illustrated in black and white by Vallese, Condit (1928b, 1941a, fig. 8, D), and Simonet.
In Dendrologia Naturalis, published in 1668, Ulisse Aldrovandi described and illustrated a fig designated as “ficus virgata fructu,” or virgate fruit, marked with alternating bands of yellow and green. A translation (courtesy of Mrs. P.H. Timberlake) of an interesting speculation as to its origin follows: “Whether or not there is any truth in what Palladius stated in Martins, title 10, to wit, that the bicolored fig sprouts from two branches (the white and the dark kind) which have been twisted together and tightly bound, so that the buds are forced to mix their juices, and combine by this means the distinct peculiarities of both, it is at least not certain that they have ever grown together naturally.”
It was probably this same fig which Risso described as Ficus carica radiata, and Gasparrini as Fico Limone.
According to Condit (1928b), the origin of this sectorial chimera has not been learned. Barron (1869b) described it as a sport from the better-known Col di Signora Bianca, one of the finest Italian varieties.
Borg reported that this variegated fig, “Tina ta Spanja,” grown at Marsascala in Malta, is said to be of Spanish origin, and needs caprification. P.I. No. 86,169, obtained from Lérida, Spain, in 1928, has proved at Riverside to be identical with Panachée, and to belong to the Common type of figs. Individual trees are found in widely separated localities of California, but there is little if any interest in extending its culture.
The tree is moderately vigorous and upright in habit of growth; bark of young twigs commonly tawny or brown, and striped with yellow; terminal buds green. Leaves not variegated, above medium to large, mostly 5-lobed; upper sinuses of medium depth, rather narrow, lower sinuses shallow, basal sinuses narrow, or in some almost closed; upper and basal lobes often auricled; margins coarsely crenate; surface dull. The following description of fruit is from specimens produced at Riverside since 1930.
Brebas none. Second-crop figs medium, up to 2-1/4 inches in length and 2 inches in diameter; average weight 40 grams; shape pyriform, with neck prominent, and somewhat flattened in some specimens; stalk to 3/8 inch long; ribs practically absent; surface glossy, with a delicate bloom; white flecks inconspicuous; eye medium or above, open, scales variable, from chaffy to light violet; color light yellow, with alternate bands of green, the latter fading out at complete maturity; meat thick, white; pulp strawberry, mealy in texture; quality mediocre to poor. (Plates 8; 26, D.) Caprified figs are somewhat larger, with pulp blood-red in color. Splitting of fruit bad, even when uncaprified, as shown in color illustration by Barron.
