Pastiliere or Noire de Barbentane?

Pastiliere...Rouge de Bordeaux???

1st candidate:  Pastiliere.
2nd candidate:  Barnisotte.

The fruit also looks a bit like Marseilles VS (black), but the leaves don't look right.  So I'll go with my first or second candidates, above.

If I'm understanding this correctly this fig is ripe on the tree now. If thats true then its a bifère? 

Ding Ding Ding....Winner Winner,  Chicken Dinner!!!

Mike, too bad you negated your third choice but you win anyway. MBVS. First fig of the season. I am not 100% sure if it is a breba but none of the other figs on the tree  are close to ripening.

Fist runner up: Jerry Lewis

Second runner up: Green Ischia

Thank you all for participating!

Congrats, Mike.

You win Franks swimming pool.

No way! I think your MBVS is mislabeled :)

you guys... Pastiliere does not have a breba. SO, it couldn't be Pastiliere

This is pretty exciting!  My MBVS is too young for figs, but if this is what I've got, color me happy!!  That fig got planted in an awkward spot on the hill.  I have to fight rattlesnakes to get to it............  But one day, we'll get some steps down there to make it easier.  I'll go down with my hiking staff tomorrow to check and see if it has figlets.  So cool!!

I planted mine in the ground this Spring. Hopefully, it will do as well as yours. Congratulations!

Update: This fig was picked dead ripe. It had a fresh fruity aroma on cutting it in half. Taste? Jackpot! Strong, concentrated, dense, substantial, fig taste with a lingering subtle berry flavor.Sweet but not cloying. It was one serious fig. I hope the rest are as good.
I had this one after a couple of dozen hit or miss Celestes so it was a real pleasure to separate the men from the boys. Um!

       

Frank, my MBVS that I received from you last year is doing great after I learned that the soil I used was too heavy and re-potted in soil containing perlite, pine bark, and composted soil, much lighter and the roots like the new-found air. It is really taking off and definitely will produce figs next season. Thanks.

Just one nice looking fig. I can't weight. But won't give up.

Wayne, this has been one of my most vigorous and productive trees. Glad to see yours is headed in the same direction.

Hershell, you will be inundated with figs before you know it.

Well this sure gives me something to look forward to. My second year has set fruit and is finally growing like crazy. It barely did anything last year after rooting so I was worried that it was a dud.

That pretty fig was not a breba after all. It's been a very good year for MBVS as well as others. Plentiful, delicious with very few bird attacks.
   

Wow that's a nice plate of figs! The first picture could be in any magazine.

Great picture, Frank.  I'm sure it was a blissful snack.

Those are incredibly great looking!  Looking forward to my little plant producing like that someday.

And keep those addicting pics coming Frank!

This has to be trick photography! This looks too good! Real nice Frank, congrats.

Can't be leave I will ever be inundated. Yours look so good!

Nice!  Congratulations!
