De La Reina (MP) Breba

My first and only breba for this variety this year. My De La Reina (MP) is still a young tree. Looking forward to more of the main crop figs.

Looks beautiful Leon. A great variety. Pons would be proud!

They don't get much darker than that!  It must get lots of sun.  How was the taste?

Was it a good strong flavor or light flavored?

Hi Leon.
That's a great looking fig, I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Beautiful fig.

Mild rich flavor for a first breba fig! My tree is very young. Last year it's main fig was excellent. I'm looking forward to more main crop figs this year. It is definitely a keeper.

De La Reina is a unique fig. It took almost two months to root an air layer off the mother tree.

Very nice, Leon.  I hope it continues to do well for you.

Leon, my dlr is very small too, probably under 18 inches, it has more little figlets on it than any of the others at this point. Looking forward to the main crop..

Good one, Leon! I hope you get a lot of main figs to try this year.

Leon, how does it compare to VdB or RdB main crop taste ? Very nice color.

Leon my friend....how do you do it!   Every fig picture you post is just amazing!   Impeccable!!!!  Great job!   Can't wait till mine fruits!

That looks so good, I still have yet to taste a fully ripe fig from any of my trees. I'm definitely antsy for them to ripen

Very nice!

Paully- They are both excellent figs but DLR is larger. I think it has a richer taste but that's just my opinion and this is just a first breba for me.

Dennis- thank you. It's the camera!

FMD- and others, thank you. As more become ripe, I'll update the photos.




Great job.I just got a half dozen of pons cuttings myself.looking forward to taste next year,I hope.

Looks very similar to a variety called "Niedda" (=black), very common in Sardinia.
This is a breba picked a few days ago:

Fico, Thank you for the post of your photo.
If possible, can you take a photo of the inside of this beautiful Niedda fig?

I will have de la reina in collection one day....hopefully! Nice pics!

Just picked (and eaten)! Very sweet and with a characteristic fig fragrance.
