La Bourgeoise did well for me this year.  It took a year off last year, but has made some of the prettier figs in the past few weeks for me.  It has a taste that is on the lighter end, but in a good way.  Very good fig, and I love the coloration it seems to get.... not striped, but kind of looks that way a bit as it ripens.

@ChesapeakeFigs. Wow what a beautiful looking fig. Delicious looking, and a photogenic tasty treat for my eyes. Clearly it tasted even better than it looked congratulations for growing such a perfect late season La Bourgeoise fig fruit. LOL now I want to try to propagate one too.

Nice looking fig Kevin. This variety does not get enough recognition. It's a bit on the late side but I think with a mature tree it's doable.

Thanks @JMF75  I didn't give it a head start or anything and have it in like maybe 2 hours of sun a day over here, and it still ripened Mid to late Sept, which works for me.

Great looking fig. 

How much later is this compared to Etna and Adriatic types for you?
