Thanks Nick they are delicious! The problem is my brebas are not too many to go around, also, I have a two legged critter at home; my daughter, who does not want to share any with even myself or my wife. But, once the main crop comes in, I might have some for sale, let's keep in touch!

Hi nick, nice breakfast.
I guess you don't use a net. So what percentage would you say is lost to birds?

It is a great breakfast for sure!
I have a huge tree, about 15' tall and 15' across and the only way i can use a net is by laying it over the branches and that hasn't worked well with the growth of the branches, they curl up and stop growing! So, I have no other choice but to share it with nature and that includes squirrels, small birds, parrots and crows.... And I end up losing a good 25% of my crop!

thanks, would love to have your variety as a cutting or plant. will keep an eye out as well

Nick, since you're in the neighborhood, let's meet at some point and come November, when the trees go dormant, we'll exchange some cuttings.

absolutely Nick.
