Does it get any bigger than this?

Wow, it is meal-like. Imagine eating 126 of those.

I have a tree of that variety. The last two years, it dropped its figs in the heat -- big heavy leaves. So, I pruned it rather heavily last winter, and this year the tree has a nice crop. I noticed recently how large the figs were even though not very close to ripening, and they seem to be holding...so far, but it has been getting really hot & dry. Still, the big leaves haven't been wilting like the previous years. I guess the roots have gotten down a bit deeper.

I see that in Hawaii it was selected for commercial orchards. I have one of them, last year it did bear for me sometimes in August. Not bad for the northeast, but still too early to tell.

Jon, I am sure glad to pay all those expenses in phyto certification to get this from you. The figs are whopper size & yummie. Thanks for recommending this one.

Opps -- Jon, any chance your orchard have some delicious figs in 2nd week July. I know you mentioned come August.

It is still not shown in F4F varietal information under # unless I am looking in the wrong place for it.

Paully,

I've had ripe brebas for a month now, on 6-8 trees - most quite large, but nothing worth eating.

I had a few ripe things last week of July last year, which was earliest season ever for me. Heavy May Gray and June Gloom this year, so what looked liike an early season this year is now looking like a late season.

Ottawan,

Some "numbered" figs are under "U" for UCR because their official names at USDA / UC Davis is "UCR" and a number. I should probably put some links in under the numbers. I get confused sometimes, as well, trying to figure out which have UCR in the name, and which don't. They are not verry consistent.

Jon,
My guess is this is a breba?

Negative, main crop.

>>>  Negative, main crop.

Jon,
now we have to ask you more questions. was it in the ground or in a pot? in a greenhouse or outside?
my first one last year was ripe sometimes in July but it was in the pot in the greenhouse.

I have two, one in ground, and one in a pot that was well-rooted into the ground. The in-pot/in-ground one is in better soil, and produced the figs in the pix. The in-ground one had fruit that were a little smaller - but not a whole lot.

Now, Bass, you know everything is outside. ;-))

Wow, anyone have luck growing this variety in the Northeast or Midwest? I imagine it takes some time to ripen a fig that big.

Ripens on the late side for my zone. Perfect for a green house as it ripens in Oct.  Rather productive too.
