I counted at least 20 brebas on my 3 year old Carini.  June will be very rewarding compared to last year's 2 brebas!

Frank that has me very excited! In the pacific north west, brebas are the only things we can count on without a greenhouse :)

I love you even more, Carini!

Nichole,

If it behaves like last year, the brebas tasted better than the main crop for me.  But being such a young tree, the flavor is a little different from a 10yr old tree.  When I feasted on the main harvest from its parent tree last September, they were great, but I still enjoyed the young tree's brebas more.  They were very delicate and rich.
