Seattle has a ton of large Desert King Trees. As a I understand it they are San Pedro type which should mean that only the Brebas will ripen. In July I observed a ton of ripen fruit on this tree. However now in Sept it's produced just as much main crop figs that are tasty and ripen(ing). They are not as watery as the brebas but still sweet and tasty.Has anyone else noticed this with their DK or could there be another variety that has the same look and taste as DK with 2 crops?
Could it be weather related? It's been an exceptionally warm Summer
I did.
interesting, does it do that every year for you Slavi?
In the summer of 2013 I had some 5 main crop fruit on one Desert King plant ripened unexpectedly. I made sure that these were not breba and they were not breba. It had never happened before and had not happened after that. That was not a bad confusion.
I also had main crop figs that persisted,but they were inferior in taste compared to Breba,the same year.Your fruits out in this pix are Desert K main crop,no doubt.The climate might be such that in your garden main crop taste good.
I'm getting a bunch of main crop Desert Kings right now- yellow exterior and interior vs. breba which is green/ red. Dave Wilson Nursery tree, definitely Dk
I had 1 DK tree ripen main crop this year, too. They tasted like caramel.
