I started this VdB as a cutting from Harvey. I know that many people say VdB and Petite Negra are the same. I don't believe they are. See my page for Petite Negra. The leaves are the same and the fruit is the same, but the growth habit is much different. Anyways, it is a fantastic fig. You should grow one (either Petite Negra or VdB, you are good either way).


Apr 2018: VdB after a severe winter pruning. Already responding to the heat with quick growth.
