My dear bro' is spending a few months in Calabria, (lucky guy)  visiting with his in-laws and he sent me this photo of one of the local fig trees. No details but was so impressed with how loaded it was. This early in the year, I can't imagine them being anything but brebas.

Wish I was there.

That's a beautiful sight!

Thanks for sharing!

Wow I need tree like this in my garden. Thanks for sharing!

Oh my ! Thanks for posting that Frank . Absolutely beautiful !

Hopefully he can enjoy some while hes there if its not too early for brebas.

Nice!!!!  maybe some day.....(sigh)....

Francesco, spero che ti porta alcuni ritagli di belle fico come regali!

(Lots of great varieties there to choose from).

p.s.  my Culummu Niuru is doing great.  Did you get that kind yet?

Hey Mike, I sent you an IM regarding another cultivar.
Yes the CN is going gangbusters in a one gallon pot already. The leaves are magnolia-like. I hope we get to see what the fruit looks like soon.
A thread from Nelson indicated that it was similar to Sicilian Red. I hope not.

One day. My family is from Calabria and I have never been there......

Wow, that's a sight for sore eyes.  Tell him to eat all the brebas off a few branches and bring them home.

I get all excited over just a very few brebas on my Celeste.  I probably couldn't take that at all.
