First time fruiting grown from cutting earlier this year. It does seem early for a main crop.

Hi Bass,
i know first fruit is hard to gauge on young tree first producing  but how was it ?

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 3 for taste. It's a good variety for earliness, for taste we'll need more time to judge it fairly. 

Very delicious looking & nice color of inside. Ditto Martin's request. Thanks Bass.

Only 3. Hopefully it improves with time. On the positive side, I have heard from a grower in RI that when fully tree ripen it is pretty good.

First of all,yes this fruit is not full flavor,second,here in the north east,in my Backyard,the fruits were not top notch.
But on the contrary,back in my Father Garden in Europe,it was super tasty and flavorfull.
As for the Earliness,the 10 yrs old tree my friend Jon,have here in NJ,had ripe main crop,fruits on 15th of July.

It makes no breba
Not to mention cold hardiness where this fig really shines.

After waiting all winter and spring for a ripe fig, this very early fig is sure to be a welcome treat.

Best wishes to all.

I picked my first fruit a couple days ago. They were quite small, but look promising.

Hi John,and Jon:Yes I received request for cuttings of Florea last year and I did not have a tree anymore so I went to Jon,and asked for some cuttings,and I think people are right.
Florea has merits,especially if someone is into grafting,to use it as a rootstock,or for early supply of fruits,and produces in almost any climate.

Early ripening is a big merit in my location. I know just growing figs is fun but having ripe fruits helps encourage contining this fun.
 I have rooted one and it rooted vigorously (the one which rooted) and is growing vigorously and is the tallest of all my rooted cuttings (pinched at 2 ft). I hope to see some ripe fruit next year. I wish I had a mile long south facing brick wall (not the proverbial brick wall but a real one).

A while back, I had requested a (known) organization to "breed" Florea
for us-up-north-people; just for its hardiness sake --- got no response...
[E: by "breed(ing)", I meant improving Florea sweetness by a
sexual-reproduced offspring, and I was not asking/looking for any
(asexual)  cutting/rooting propagations...].

looks like a very rich fig, beautiful to look at for sure.

I'm hoping next season my Floreas will be giving figs. They may do well in my hot dry heat.
