George,
I think the breba are significantly longer/narrower than these. At least, the breba on my tree (which Herman id'd as an EBT) are significantly narrower in shape. On this variety, I like the taste of the breba better than the mains, though it takes a late warm autumn for me to get the main crop to ripen around here. (So maybe the mains would taste better if I had a more suitable climate). The breba are delicious though.
Nelson, are the breba from your EBT tree long and pretty narrow, with a longish neck?

p.s. I think the taste of
English Brown Turkey is so different from the other figs with the words "Brown Turkey" in their name... it's almost a shame that this variety has those words. It seems to me that it's a very different fig, compared with those others. Its reputation suffers by (unfair or at least misleading) association with those other Brown Turkeys!
