Here's my first Excel on the right. Atreano RR on the right. Both were good but not mind blowing good. Atreano was pure sugar and not as complex as last year. I should have eaten it before Excel which was creamy but not as sweet. Looking forward to better figs.

Thanks for sharing.  Are those brebas or has you main crop started?

I had my first excel/excell recently. I thought it pretty good for such an early fig, and that it holds promise.

Last year I had quite a few from Atreano RR and thought they were rather bland through the entire season. There are quite a few on it this year, and if the fruits don't move into at least the '7-8' flavor range, it's going to a new home where it will be more appreciated.

The Excel was a Breba.

Please give the Atreano RR another try. Last yr was my first yr with fruit and they were outstanding. This one was one of the early ones. I think it's highly variable from one fruit to another. I wish I knew how to make them all come out good. I had a Conadria the other day that was incredible and others that were half as good, and yet another one very bland. All were picked at the ripe stage and some had a lot more seeds than others.

I also find that once you make up your mind that you are getting rid of it, a really good one pops out.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Best,
Tam
