Nice pics Leon, my LdA is also very large.. It is loaded with figs and about 5 feet tall. It seems to like our climate except for the very bad cold snap we had. Im hoping to try a few in the next month.

Here are paully22's photos of longue D'aout Breba

Thanks for posting the pic's Nelson. 

Both Nardi Blk and LdA are keepers. Note how ripe I let LdA be when I pick them. They taste good. Both are in-ground trees. I have LdA growing in pots and fruit size is not as large as the plant grown in-ground. Both trees are never protected during winter, including my LdA in pots.

You Canadians know how to get those figs to look damn good.

Paully,
Glad to see you got those pics posted.

Nelson,
Thank you for getting those on here for Paully.

Those are some really nice shots! It was hard to judge the size of them in the one pic. But the shot with your hand behind them really shows us just how big they do get! Again, very nice pictures!

So Paully, do you live near the coast in BC? What are your lowest temps like in the winter where you are?

I'm just suprised to learn that you don't need to protect them at all in winter. I think this is great but I won't get too excited until I learn a little more about what your coldest temps are like. 

Thanks Nelson for posting Paully's wonderful photos!

No Problem everyone, paul if you want me to post more pics let me know.

Hey Axier. How did your Basque Country figs do in 2012? Did you happen to take any new pictures that you could share?

Fig pics are what help us get through the winter :-) . Those Longue d'Aout figs look really good right now. Being months away from ripe figs in my area, I'm sure, makes them look a little extra good! 

nice pictures of a great fig!

Hi all .

I am posting a few pics of Niagara Black to compare against Longue D'aout . I do not think they are the same , but others have wondered so compare for yourselves .















Now you can compare.

John

I didn't see this thread before, and WOW! I now so wanna to grow Longue d'Aout. Anyone know where to buy one?

@ John. Based on all of the pictures in this thread, Nigara & LdA are not the same fig. Breba LdA very clearly look different. The pictures of the main LdA crop in post #37 look a little close to the Nigara. But in every case the neck on LdA is longer. Not the same fig IMO.

@ Axier. Too bad you didn't have a very good year for figs. In Kentucky we had a summer drought and heat wave that made it difficult to keep my trees watered enough. Still had a few good figs though from the ones I watered frequently. Unfortunately, no LdA yet :-/ .  

Have you considered doing an air-layer of your LdA? You may not want to change the shape of your multi-grafted tree but it would be a good way to get the LdA out on it's own. Another alternative might be to get some dormant cuttings rooted now for a head start :) .

@ Jimmy. Keep a close eye on the forum over the next week or so. Jon will have his huge list of cuttings available around the first of Feb. He may have Longue d'Aout, as well as a couple hundred other varieties, on his list. You will find instructions on ordering in this thread: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Fig-Cuttings-2013-6164535
 
Be sure to follow the instructions closely or you could miss out until next season ;) .

Beautiful fig Axier! I cannot believe how massive they are:)
