Conadria wins the race this year! That was actually the first fig it made for me. Poor little guy struggled for a couple years stunted, but it has about a dozen figs on it this year. Shout out to OMOTM, thanks for the cutting from 2013 LSU fig day!

Hi Cal, Conadria used to be my first of the season also. That is while I still had my tree which I lost to termites I believe. How did it taste? I always found the taste good that is until some others started to ripen. Then it seemed to yield it's place to better tasting ones. It was very light of fig flavor and sweetness. Was that one a breba, mine made some great big ones.

Gene,
That was a main crop, to my knowledge the only breba I had was on a black mission and a mocking bird beat me to it.  Yeah, the fig was very mild of flavor and sweetness, but it was still good to have.  In my opinion it is very similar to atreano, and I will have to study the profiles closely this year and will probably be rid of one or the other. 

Last year I picked a Celeste on 6/18 as my first, but this year, those are not even close yet.  I have a Peter's Honey and an LSU Gold that will be ready today or tomorrow for my second fig variety ripening.  The Cajun gold you (GENE) gave me last year has a nice little crop on it, and I am looking forward to that one along with the Lettsworth UNK... 

LOOKS Great Cal wish we had taste Post then we could all have a treat

In our area with all the heat, our figs get extra sugary. For me last year Kadota and Conadria were the same in taste. The Honey Flavor is Awesome. My first Conadria years ago was lacking flavor because I over watered it.

Over watering could be the issue....#goawaylanina

Looks very tasty Cal.......had my first fig of the season 3 days ago,it was a LSU Gold

You two Cajuns are jumping the gun on me this year. I've had my first official fig of the year, but I haven't had my first "good" first fig of the year yet. That is the one I'm looking for. It is usually my Cajun Gold breba, but the late cold got rid of all of them and now I have to wait for main crop.

Second fig of the year award goes to.....drumroll........Peter's Honey!  Picked this morning.  This is my first "good" Peter's Honey this tree has produced for me.  The ones in years past were weak in flavor and sweetness.  I guess the tree has gotten a old enough to produce some quality fruit.  This fig had both a honey sweetness and some good "figgy" flavor also.  What a fantastic time of year for a figaholic!

     

Cal let those Conadrias ripen until they wrinkle badly, trust me... they will taste 100x better.

Thanks for the advice johnny. I was gonna let that one sit another day or two, but my four year old just had to have it....she's got me wrapped, what can I say? Well I've had my eye on the second fig now for two days and I'm letting her set...if a bird don't get it, me and ms conadria have another date soon...

And the second runner up is....LSU Gold!  The first fig i ever owned, and still the best "honey" fig I've tasted.  When it is right, it is hard to beat...and this fig was right! Like biting into a soft juicy honeycomb!
           

Sorry to say the conadria in question got eaten be a dad gum bird yesterday. Had it under my porch and hidden behind a sunflower leaf...oh well hopefully I can get a ripe one eventually...

That picture of your beautiful daughter with her expression speaks volumes, great pic.

I had 2 brebas of LSU Gold last week, I wasn't impressed, just figgy.

Your post gives me hope that the main crop, if I get any (squirrels are sneaky), taste much better.  

Great photo of your daughter!  She's on her way to being a life-long fig lover.  It seems like kids that age have more of an open mind about fresh figs than adults who have never had one.

Great pics of the little one enjoying the figs. A great advertisement for the surprising flavor of the fig.

Yeah, she has loved figs since she could first eat solid foods. Still the first LSU Gold of the season is always a sweet surprise.
