First breba of the season. 
     

That's a good looking fig...How did it taste

Wow that fig has a beautiful color! Do you know if it is a San Pedro type or a common type?

Taste is sweet, rich, and juicy- all in one! 
This fig is a common type that produces both brebas and main figs. 
It does not drop its figs. We do not have the fig wasp here in Albuquerque, NM.

Nice looking fig sounds delicious too!

Is Sicilian Red another name for this fig?

Another awesome one Doc. Is it in ground or potted? Thanks for sharing.

Ripens both crops for me. Keeper.

Thanks for sharing ! Very nice fig.

That looks great Doc. I have one that been in a pot too long and it's suffering. I will try to get it into the ground by this fall. It has produced a few figs and they were good. Your pictures make me want to get it into the ground more than ever.

Thank you. Yes, I believe Sicilian Red is another name given to this fig. It has quite a few synonyms.

Looks similar to Sal C . Does it split during heavy rainfall ?

The eye will star burst but the fig itself has never split during heavy rainfall. Sal C is one of the synonyms. 

Wow, looks delicious.

Very nice, Leon.  That is an impressive fig!

Danny, I cannot say enough about this variety, growing here in New Mexico. It is productive and ripens over a long season. They're mostly red but they can appear almost black some seasons. The brebas can get really big and the main crop, medium to large figs. Both the brebas and the start of the main figs coexist and taste the same. I've posted a number of threads related to this and many other figs but if tomorrow I was to give up collecting, this is the one that will remain growing in my garden.

I found out about this fig over hearing an elderly man, with a strong Italian accent, bragging about his figs to another patient in the clinic years back. Out of curiosity, we talked and he offered to share his fig. One day he showed up with a bunch of branches in a pail of water and a platter full of ripe figs. He told me that the brebas would, some years, get as big as lemons. Aldo told me that the fig was handed down from his father who grew the fig in Brooklyn where he immigrated from Sicily. His father received the variety from a Greek friend who said that the fig originated from Palermo. I suspect that many years ago it was once a popular fig that people shared, much like the Hardy Chicago rage. I don't know the real name of Aldo's fig but I suspect that is why it has so many synonyms.

Thanks for the info and for sharing photos

Leon, I am growing Sicilian Red which is a pretty close relative, if not identical.  One of the best fig tasting experiences I have ever had was the first fig from that variety during the summer of 2013 in its 2nd season.  Unfortunately, the two winters since then have caused it to nearly freeze to the ground.  Unlike Mt. Etna figs these SalsC types (in my climate anyway) aren't able to recover and set figs soon enough after such an event in order for them to ripen before the cold weather comes.  I'm tempted to grow this one in a container but I don't have a lot of driveway space left.

Wow, what a beauty, Leon. Thanks for sharing the photos.

I am growing Aldos and Sicilian red next to each other to compare. Those figs look great!

Steve, I have an in ground Aldo and I have several progeny growing in large tubs. The ones in the containers are just as productive. It is a compact tree that does well in a large pot so you should have no problems. The original Aldo's tree was close to two stories tall growing on the east side of his house. It was well protected from the scorching sun and west winds that plague our high desert. About 4 years ago, Albuquerque suffered some single digit temps that killed down most of his tree. My trees have not suffered any damage down to about 13-15 degrees.

Brian, it will be interesting to see how your Sicilian Red compares. Post some photos when you can.

Leon, I always look forward to seeing your photos. Thanks!
