Leon, I thought they are similar -- close resemblance. Will know when I sample my Longue d'Aout.
Notes -- my Ld'Aout is an in-ground tree and I-395 are in pots(2). I find Ld'Aout brebas was prone to 
rot at the fig bottom/ostile. Have thrown over a dozen Ld'Aoutbrebas away whilst none from I-395

Your fruit are bumpy or warty.  Any idea why that is?  I hope you don't lose any more.

Hi paully22,
When the maincrop comes, show us the pics of the ripe maincrop.
The reason is that my own longue d'aout still refuses to make brebas - she's 5 years old.
But at least the main crop looks really promising this year on my tree.

I don't think the 395 resemble the LdA leaves that much.  What do you think, Paully?  The fruit appears very similar at those stages though.  Here are my LdA leaves.

I agree Frank, Paul's fig does resembles Longue d'Aout but the leaves do appear different. Here is a link to several leaf photos of my Longue D'Aout.

I've got both figs in pots, though the LdA is a year older at 4 years. I'll pull them out and make my own comparisons. Both fruited sparingly last year and the similarity didn't occur to me. I'll have many more main crops to compare this season, though no brebas.

Similar to Paully's rot problem with the LdA brebas, I had some mild rot around the ostiole of my only two I 395 main crop fruits last season but none I recall from my few LdA fruits. I chalked it up to the youth of the tree.

I'll take pics and post them to this thread...at some point.

This is what I have and never knew what it was, it looks very similar to me

Trying to sent picture hope it works

Just picked my first Longue d'Aout. It was a breba off a very young tree, yet still very good. Sorry, no pictures. My feeding hand was quicker than my camera hand. I am pleased with this and hope for a crop like what you have shown here. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Dale, glad you enjoyed the fig!
What do your leaves of LdA look like compared to above?

They look like the leaf with very deep sinuses in the first picture near the date stamp. Very distinctive among my other trees.
