Brebas Already ?

Ok so today I went to check on my Bronze Paradiso and it seems its starting to push out brebas already is that normal for this time of year?

Nelson,  It's normal.  My fig bushes/trees in the house - about 20 largish ones, are mostly showing signs of brebas.  I also ate a fig on New Years day from my Yugoslavian black fig from Radovan.  Five others are ripening.  Considering that I live in zone 4b/5a (I'm being optimistic with the 5a), I think that is a notable event of some kind.
Eat your hearts out fellow fig lovers, as I often envy you for most of the year.

Thanks John I got both my Bronze Paradiso and Black Yugoslavian from Radovan, my Black yugoslavian is still small has only grown 3 inches in 6 months.

Nelson, you're late to the party. See http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3837933&highlight=breba

Holly Shizzle thanks for the link Jon, and here I was thinking I was ahead of the pack hahaha boy was I wrong.

Nelson,  I got my Yugo black from Dusan last February as a 6 inch plant.  It grew two branches and four feet in its first year and put out 8 brebas which I am now eating slowly, and also put out a single main crop fig last month.  I'll remove it, and put the plant into dormancy at the end of this month, but I am going to get whatever brebas I can now.

Oh that sounds lovely John I started mine from a cutting in July but it seems its badly infected with FMV and the only growth I got out of it was it I gave it some 10-10-10 fertilizer, Did you also get a yellow Serbian off Dusan? I know both the yellow serbian and Black Yugo produce brebas.

Nelson,  I got the black and the yellow figs from Dusan, as well as the Palestine dark fig.  This is my year for figs, as my plants are now established and quite big.  I also must thank Paully22 and Ottawan for their generosity too in sharing plants and cuttings.  I hope the summer is improved over last.
