One of my best figs. Solid, rich, large, and very productive this year. No brebas this season.

Dinner was figs. Had a few LdA + many others and some to share with my fig eating pet dog. LdA was good, so was Salem Dark & juicy Tena.

Good for you Paully! ..and for fido too. My golden loves figs as well. LdA has gotten better over time. It's becoming a large in ground tree but one raccoon has found more interest in it than I'd like...more later.

So what's the deal - are they mid-September figs? I post my LDA photo last night and you two had yours today. I don't recall the variety being talked about in the past couple of months. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

The figs look nice.!!! @Harvey From my reading they fruit about the same time as brown turkey. Brebas and main. __________________ Luke 8b, England. Wish list: Olympian, Malta black, Nero 600m/400m(Vallecald),Tacoma Violet,

Out of all the varieties I have, this is one I have multiples of, to ensure I get figs in a year or two. Can't wait to try these. __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

HarveyC, My first LDA ripened on 8-30 and I ate the last two yesterday. Mine is not a large tree yet and only produced around 30 figs - but they were excellent. I'm going to add 2 more to my collection. __________________ Michael in Virginia (zone 7a) Wish list: Perretta,

Guys, It is a variety relevant thread but probably not a very proper question ... The LDA has been in my wish list for a while and I even thought I would get one on two different occasions that hasn't came up true. Can anybody share some cuttings of the LDA (or small rooted or whatever) now or later? I would pay a fare price and S&H. Thank you in advance! Please let me know. __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

Thanks, Mike, for the ripening dates. Igor, remind me in January. Also, remember to visit that guy down there when it comes time to prune. :) __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

Thank you for the feedback, Leon. I never tire of saying that Longue d'Aout is one of the "must have" varieties. It is outstanding. __________________ Axier Basque Country Z9
