Atreano breba

A Atreano cutting that I started this winter....only 6 inches tall.  Here is a picture of the breba.  This year I have had the pleasure of tasting more than one variety of fig and have just became aware that they all taste completely different.  Negronne (my favorite) tastes delicious, sweet,  heavy, can't tell it has a skin.  Kadota tastes like honey but I have to peel the thick skin.  Atreano tastes like a strawberry, not sweet, medium skin that didn't need peeling.  The atreano in the photo was picked early.  So far this year we have already gotten our average total rain fall for a YEAR, in 7 months.  Kadota figs are the only variety that is splitting.....so far.

Looks delicious!  I planted both Negronne and Atreano in the ground this year.  Can't wait to see what they produce in the upcoming years.

I am braiding the Atreano and the JH Adriatic fig cuttings together.  They haven't grown much since I started them.  Maybe due to the poor soil here and I don't fertlize them.
