Looking good, Frank.

Southern, Frank-

Just curious....have you found splitting to be a problem in humid, rainy, Florida?  The tree looks great...and, it's loaded.  I see some good eatin'!  Good luck with the fig season.


Northern, Frank

Even with the bad winter weather, this tree seems to take it all and still produce.

Very beautiful and productive tree. Thanks for sharing.


Best,
Tam

Bronx Frank,

Unfortunately, that is indeed a problem! Timing is everything. Prolonged periods of rain during ripening times does produce splitting. Same goes for LSU Gold and several others.

BTW, the last picture is of LSU Gold figs.

Here is a picture of my Belleclare Nursery Atreano taken today in Saratoga Springs NY zone 5. I think there is also a west coast version of original Belleclare Atreano. I'm not even sure what the difference is. Do you know which one you have Frank?

Atreano was a favorite of Chris DiPaolo of Belleclare Nursery.

It was one of the varieties he chose not to sell the mother tree of
when he closed the nursery and brought it home for his personal collection.

I was fortunate to purchase this tree and others from Chris
when he decided to sell his personal collection a few years ago.

He never mentioned a west coast version to me.
Will ask next time I speak to him.

Rob, I'd like to see pictures of your ripe Belleclair Atreano when available. Mine appears to have a rounder shape. I received mine from a forum member a few years ago simply labeled Atreano. 

Here are a couple more shots of my Atreano from years past. I may be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere on this forum of a different version other than the original Belleclare Atreano. I will have cuttings of this in the fall for trades.

Frank,
I like Atreano but I have not yet had a perfect one like yours from last season. Here's to the hope of 2014. Rain is inevitable for us and for Atreano, that means a James Brownian split.

I know Jimmie, it is inevitable. I just don't have the heart to chop this tree down. Those huge yellow orbs have me mesmerized into keeping it for another year. James Brown, keep out of my orchard!

Frank,
I understand and still have one. Those yellow orbs are such a tease and a good one.
Your tree is loaded. Do you protect it or are the critters and fowl occupied elsewhere in the Back 40?

Looks great!
I have a young Atreano and a young Atreano RR? Anyone know difference? I think Jon differentiates

Jimmie, I netted the tree last year, but the ##%€£}$ birds still got in. So this year the Atreano will have to fend for itself.

Gregg, I too would be interested in the difference between Atreanos.

I love those Atreano figs! While the birds were stealing most of my figs especially the dark, reddish and yellow ones, they missed my Atreano figs this summer. How's your tree doing this year?

My Atreano died down to the ground las winter for the first time ever, so now I am enjoying some late figs. No splitting so far.

Sorry to hear this Frank. It looked to me like it was an established tree on its way.
Did you protect it?
Despite wrapping my in ground trees(other varieties), and while the winter was very mild, I still lost some branches and the fig count was much lower than last year. 

In another example after wrapping my black Madeira, all the branches came back with new leaves but no figs this year. I find this strange.

Hey there Gents. Could you please help me with identifying this fig? Looks like Atreano to me but I never had one so I'm just comparing to other photos. Thanks very much in advance!

And a couple of shots of the tree.

Says, it was an established tree but it was also an unusual winter. No matter, I'm actually glad it got pruned to the ground.

Chris, they do look like Atreano to me.

Thanks Frank.

Chris, I was actually thinking Conadria.  My Atreano leaves look somewhat different than yours.  Here's a thread on Conadria:

Man:I just wrote the same opinion as Steve,about 20 minutes ago,then I deleted it,not to upset,Frank,but if Steve said it ,I will say it too.
My opinion,Is not Atreano,it is Conadria,the leaves matches,and the fruit too.

Not upset at all. I hadn't considered the leaves, just the fruit, so I defer to you guys.
