Dauphine, St. Jean and Pastilliere from UC Davis?

Does anyone have Dauphine, Pastilliere or St. Jean from UC Davis? I wonder if they're true to type / same as the European versions, or at least have similar characteristics: good big brebas for Dauphine, very fine brebas and a vigorous tree for St. Jean, and very early and tasty main crop for Pastilliere.

I have Saint Jean , Dauphne and Pastilere of Baud version , my experience as follows :

1, Saint Jean & Dauphine are very productive varieties , where SJ is sweeter but smaller than Dauphine. Dauphine could produce big breba crops . But both of them would have a little problem during hard rainy season in my country .  (SJ were cracking and Dauphin main crops were dropped).

2. For a Pasteliere  , I still have a problem with this variety since the fruit always dropped at all season.

Best regards

I think this is Martin's post after deleting the defective post. Moderator

Nope not me Jon,
i do not have Saint Jean or Dauphine nor looking for them.

 I posted that i have a UcDavis Pastiliere that improved a llittle last season keeping some more of its crop from previous season.

Mine looks like the ones i have seen pics of on Europe sites and according to one member that i showed picture of mine its same as his and he lives over-sea's.


I tried.

Saint Jean was awful in rain here and Pastiliere is only partly persistent,and will drop fruits as Dieseler stated.
For me Pastiliere dropped all fruits and so Both mentioned cultivars are in Fig Haven ,by now.
And Dauphine ,if it makes problems in San Diego,will also be a disaster here,in my rainy humid climate,no doubt.
Cultivars that are a big Winner in better climates,like Violette de Bordeaux,Marseilles vs black,Hardy Chicago,Celeste,  here sometime are spoiling when long lasting cold rains come after August 15,yet they are the best I can have here.
So if you have a nice dry hot climate,you can grow any cultivar and be Happy with them,but if ,climate is not like in Southern France you better look hard for a cultivar that can take your local condition.
Why look hard?.
Because they will be very few and far in between,so,i wish you all good luck from the first cultivar you try.
For me it took a lot of cultivars and a lot of work to find a few that will grow well here.
