A very large Common fig (in excess of 100 g average) quite attractive sweet, flavored and extremely syrupy.
At the point of ripeness shown on the pictures, it is rather fresh and fruity, a mix of delicious flavors from the dark berries to hints of passion fruit.
I love to eat it early morning, cool,  under the fig tree. Very difficult to stop eating these jewels! ..(the blood sugars !!)

Francisco

Great photos - thx.
I had to go out and have a nice conversation with my Abebereira tree after seeing these pictures. We agreed on a new larger pot later this afternoon along with some aged bunny manure and micronutrients. In return I'll get a bit more growth before dormancy sets in. Hopefully I'll get figs next year.

Thanks, Francisco, looking forward to trying Abebereira next year!

I'm happy to see and hear about this fig Francisco, thank you once again.

I'll be soo happy when I receive mine from a very generous member( thank you, thank you, thank you) !

I'm glad you came to an understanding Michael ! I have to have that conversation with a couple of mine. I am currently starting to up pot my 1 gal's and other trees to larger pots. 

Unfortunately sciatica has been holding me down these past few weeks. 
 

Thank you for taking your time to look at these figs.

Francisco

Thank you, Francisco, for the nice photos!
Now I see what I could have eventually :(  
My Abebereira didn't make it from a cutting this year, it was only one and quite thin though. 

Look fantastic, please keep up posting the pictures of all your fantastic figs.

Very nice looking fig Francisco.
Question do you also grow the dark type of this one and have pictures you might post. ?

I was hoping for figs this year but now it seems not likely.

Pattee,
I spent 2 hours doing inventory of the figs I have up off the ground. Next it's the other half -- what a pain -- but necessary for trading purposes. I can only up pot about 6 plants a day as I'm still recovering from my car crash - but I still love up potting as the soil smells so good and the plants are so happy about it.

I hope your pain goes away. It's great weather down here in Virginia to get out side work done. It's usually hot and super muggy this time of the year but this year we are getting the oddest cool wet weather. We'll be lucky to break the 80 degree mark today and more rain tonight and tomorrow. It's just crazy weather. My tomatoes don't even want to ripen.

Michael, taking about crazy weather. Here I am 45 miles SW of
Atlanta and our high yesterday was 67. So far today 64. Normally
we would be at least 89 which is the average. I have had an abundance
of tomatoes but splitting had really been a problem with over 10 inches
of rain in July and already 5 inches in August.

Thanks Michael , appreciate the kind thoughts. We had a couple of cool days and I got a few potted. Unfortunately I pay for it next day! Been using a tens unit and it gives me a little relief . Problem is as soon as I feel a bit better - out I go and pot ! Stubborn and gotta get it done lol.
This week going to be hot and very humid - been crazy!

Nice report. An addition to my wish list.

Wow, that is a very nice looking fig. I can't wait for mine to fruit but
it will be next year. Thanks for sharing the pics Francisco

Wow!  thanks for sharing.  =)

What a great looking fig.  Does it require a lot of heat hours?

I got three cuttings of Abebereira from Jon this past winter.
I promptly turned them into six cuttings, and I managed to kill
all but one (too much love).
My one sorry looking survivor really started taking off in June, and
is now almost 2' tall. I don't know if it will ever be productive in my
area, but even if it isn't, I will keep it.
What a gorgeous looking interior on those figs!
What I wouldn't do for a big plate of those, with some slices of
Presunto (prosciutto) and an ice cold Heineken!

Thank you all for your comments and time to look at these Bebera Branca figs.

Hope Pattee gets better from those problems soon and back to the figs in force

Martin, I have just a few young potted trees of the Black variant but no figs yet
Will try and find some samples to show.

Bill, ...if I could ?! ...

Tom, yes the more sun you give them the better.
This particular variety seems to me to be much demanding and if all goes well, when fully ripe shows a perfectly filled interior with jelly to spare...even before you cut it, you have a good feeling of what you are going to see due to its 'high density'...it is not only big but heavy as well. some figs get to the 150+grams...  The figs shown on the pictures were certainly visited by the insect, given the full and deep red insides.

Rui, Thank you my friend. Keep tendering your little tree and it will be a good producer.
At home we do it many times...As I cannot (allergy) even smell milk my plate is supplied with presunto caseiro which I love to eat with fresh figs and some melon cubes... The rest of the family goes for the
cottage cheese, beer or the sparkling 'vinho verde' goes very well with it

Francisco

Nice.

@Pattee -- likewise got this sciatica issue on thursday. Sucks. Hope you get well soon. I got appointment with Chiropracter tomorrow. Yahooooooo.

Francisco, Thanks for the good news on this variant. I have neglected this variant terribly because it never ripens for me. I better move my tree to the GH.

Paully , thanks , sure hope your better after the chiro visits. Francisco and Gorgi thanks so much too.

Ooooohweeee those look great! Saliva on.

George, Paully, Calvin

Thank you for looking at the pictures and commenting


Francisco

Hi All,

Can anybody who is growing Jon's #340 (Abebereira PL) is the same fig as either Francisco posted above or in Marius' tread or if I need to put this back on my wishlist?

Thanks in advance.

james, is it possible that they look different since francisco's might have been caprificated?
