Dauphine was a gift from a generous F4F member.  
This year I root pruned it and up potted from a 3gal to a 5 gal container.  In retrospect I should have gone to a 7 or 10 gal.
The plant started producing promising breba and main crop figlets on every branch in June.  A dozen or more breba and figlets.  I thought this was going to be fantastic. 
Then one at a time it managed to drop all the breba but 2.  Last second one dropped before fully ripening yesterday and finally the last one ripened fully today with a drop of honey coming out of the eye.

Now it is in the fridge over night will see how it tastes tomorrow.  Will let you know and will post interior fig photo then.

Thanks for looking comments and suggestions welcome.  Special thanks to John.

 

Your dauphine looks lovely, I can see why you suggested this variety. I hope it turns out delicious.

Pino,

Congratulations..this a nice breba.
Dauphine is a fine fig and I have tried it.  But it seems to dislike my climate , IMO it could not survive full sun exposure and the two I rooted, died on their third year.

Beautiful fig Pino. I hope it tastes as good as it looks. I can't wait for the interior pics.thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone!  Next year I will up pot and keep it in partial shade maybe it will ripen more breba that way.

Must admit I was a bit hesitant. 
I have been watching these figs develop since early June.  

Dauphine turned out to be the most unique, super sweet fig with intense jammy tropical flavours.  One of the best figs I have tasted yet!

The 1st fig actually dropped the day before and was smaller the red ribs were still showing.  It was very sweet and tasted like strongly of mulberry. 

 
The perfectly ripe one with the drop of honey in the photo didn't have the mulberry tone.   It was a goo size medium or more fig.
Super sweet and juicy, no seed crunch, jammy tropical tones.  It was one of the best tasting figs I have tasted.
 

 
Thanks for looking.  Wish I had a bushel to share.

That's a beautiful fig, Pino. I'm happy the taste was great for you!

Never thought it will be such a dark fig. Glad the feedback that it is great tasting. My in-ground tree
produces lots of main crop but no brebas this season.

Looks great Pino! I was hoping my Grise de Tarascon (supposedly the same) would produce some brebas this year but unfortunately I'll have to wait until next year.

Thanks Gary!

@Paul, most of the brebas did not get that big and dark before they shrivelled and dropped.  They were reddish with noticeable ribs.  As in this photo. 
Here is a recent post fro SAS on Dauphine.  Maybe environment/terroir comes into play in how this fig develops?   I watered this plant everyday to stop it from dropping its brebas.

Thanks Tyler!  It will be interesting to see what your Grise de Tarascon looks like.  Maybe some main crop figs will ripen?

Lovely figs and beautiful photos. I've been studying up on this type and the info here is helpful.

Nice Pino. I wish you have more breba next time.

Thanks Ema and Rafael. 
Yes I hope next year by up potting or putting it in ground for the summer will ripen more brebas.  It started with some 15 brebas.  But honestly those 2 brebas that ripened were so delicious that they worth the work. 
I am curious whether the main crop will ripen.  The figlets were formed very early so I am hoping that is a good sign but some literature says Dauphine is a San Pedro type?

I thought it was san pedro fig pino? As I was thinking about planting 1 in ground.
I was planning on buying two trees this fall Dauphine and grise de st-jean, as I'm told the brebas are beautiful on it

Thanks for sharing your great photos

Thanks for that Luke!

Hopefully I will get to see for myself soon if Dauphine is a San Pedro type. 
As I understand it the San Pedro breba are common type figs.  The main crop figs are smyrna type figs.  On these the syconia drops unless pollinated and most of the second crop is dropped. 
Not sure what the syconia looks like when it drops?..LOL
