This is a tree growing at a vineyard near me.  The matriarch likes her figs picked long before ripe so I was lucky to find one fig that was almost ripe.  The breba are ripening now but it's full of early main crop figs as well.  The taste of the unripe fig was 5 parts mulberry, 1 part raspberry and 1 part lime.  Very pleasant tasting.  I may go back and bag a fig so they leave it for me  :)  The main crop figs are dark green with white spots, immature and don't (yet) have ribs.  Anyone know what this is?

Bob,

Delish... 

See if they will allow cuttings from the sections they prune this coming winter. BTW I'm calling the first set after Bob ;)

dont know what it is, but sure does make my tummy grumble!!

yum!

Sure that isn't longue d'aout?

Bob,

Looks like breba from what some are calling English Brown Turkey. Not Ld'A. Got any main crop pics?

No BT I've ever heard of has the kind of flavor described.  Have you ever heard of an acidic BT?  If this is one, that's an interesting permutation, whether that be a unique strain or Seattle's climate.

Flavor is a tricky character by which to rule in or out a variety. Too variable and subjective. Here are two links that may help:

Not sure a'bout anything.

Pied de Bouef  pic from Figs4fun varieties 

I was looking at EBT and PdB.  No way to be sure.  I will get main crop fig pics later today or tomorrow.  They will be very unripe, though.

Here's the inside of a ripe breba.  It smelled like cucumber but didn't taste like that.  It had a mild, sweet taste.  Only the skin had a mild acid taste.





Here's the immature main crop.

Great find!!!!!! Nothing here in Idaho to discover.

Bob,

Any updates on this fig?

I'm pretty sure it's a pied d'boeuf.  I now live 1800 miles away from it.  I never took cuttings because it didn't taste good enough - too mild.  I left the area on 10/2/12, long before it went dormant.  Soon after these photos I got an eviction notice because the landlord wanted to go to a no pets policy.  Since I had a house in KC, MO that never sold and a promise of a job I moved back here.  The job evaporated but I don't see any reason to leave right now.

Well that just sucks.

The Pied de Boeuf that rooted this year so far has completely different leaves. Will see how they look next year.
