Lebanese Red

I had these for breakfast, and they were probably the best tasting figs of the summer. I've eaten over 150 varieties this summer, but the Rich flavor and the sweetness of these figs topped them all. They seem to be darker than they've been in other years.

Those are beautiful! 

Absolutely beautiful Rafed ! Loves the colors , inside and out . Happy for you that you are having such a good season.
How old is this tree ?
Is it in ground or potted?

Very nice figs

Can't wait til my lebanese red starts making me breakfast.

The tree is probably about 5-6 years now. It's in a large container. It had a lot of figs, but it was attacked by so many birds, and had to bag a bunch of them so I can at least get them to fully ripen. 

Bass ,
When can I come over for breakfast ?

Wow!  Those are really delicious looking.  Great picture.

My cuttings that you sent me this past winter are doing great! I can't wait to try mine next year.

XXX, it might be difference between breba and main crop.

Yes, these are Brebas, they're larger and bronze color. 

Kerry when you pass by New York, pick me up, I know the directions...and some of the Lingo...
those figs, and the Pananas Purple that JD posted, are one of the best of the season...

OOOOHHH, how I want a Lebanese Red.  Hopefully, this coming winter I'll get cuttings or maybe a tree in the spring.  Thanks for sharing the pics and description, Bass.

cant wait for my baby LR to grow up and start making

Started my tree earlier this year from a cutting, it is doing very well with three small fruits on it.  If we have a mild fall I may get these to mature!

Hi Rewton, my English is not good. I do not understand the difference between  breba and main crop .

What is  breba and main crop  ?

The breba crop is produced on the branches that grew last year.  The main crop is produced on the new growth of branches from the current year.  The qualities between the two crops can be quite different in some varieties and somewhat similar in others (in my somewhat limited experience).

Bass how cold hardy is that kind. Can it live in ground 6b. Been eyeballing this fig for a year or two myself. Just don't know if it will be worth growing in southern illinois

Thank you ! I understand .

In China,We call "the breba crop" is "Spring crop" ,because the fruit is coming out in Spring on the last-year old branches.

I don't know if my tree will ripen figs this year or not, has anybody else had ripe fruit from this variety?

Very nice Bass...congratulations.

Hi Bass,

How do these compare with Aldo/Palermo Red/Sicilian Red? My Aldo looks very similar to this fig (including the little "petals" around the stem), however, I have not had a breba crop.
