Thanks Gene Daniel, so may I know if the taste of Texas blue giant good? Or fo we have any taste good and large black color figs? Coz I'm growing Violette de Bordeaux...it's rather small.

Pied de Boeuf is large but at least in Oregon, insipid.

This is my first year to grow Texas Blue Giant, but I have read articles stating they have a good flavor as long as they do not get too much water when they are ripening.

Biggest I have seen is Stella. Size of a good size pear.

Hi,
For now the biggest I've seen are unknowns from the neighborhood - Should be a named strain as I already spotted 5 of those trees ... Anyone an idea ? green long and wrinkled at the moment easy to recognize.
I'll try to take a pic of a growing fruit. They grow green and wrinkled until they go full size and turn brownish and pear shaped.
My own biggest was a Dalmatie fig - that year the tree had no brebas, and so I think it was a main crop fig.
"Goutte d'or" is promising - but still under evaluation as if they don't fall off, those will me my first figs from that tree .

Please specify: Breba....or, Main-Crop.  There's a difference when it comes to sizes. 

Photos of the above figs might be brebas.  ?????
