Nazarti, breba & main crop

My UCD 2009 Nazarti, potted in 3 gal pot single stem has one huge breba on it, with beginning main crop babies forming.  On June 17, I came home to a breba that was hanging down but still firm.  On June 22, it is still hanging on, but beginning to soften a little,  the eye is still closed through 2 recent rains.  I will try to weight it and take some more pics and how it tastes.

Good luck with it!

CH, good looking fig. I am interested in how it taste.

Pretty looking fig .

Looks are deceiving.  This morning, the beautiful Nazarti fig was laying on the ground.  I picked it up, washed it, weighed it at 2 1/2 oz or 60 grams after a few assorted insects had taken their bite.  The eye was still closed and appeared to be plugged.  The interior color was pale amber and the seeds were small but crunchy. On a scale of 1 to 10, taste was a 1.  It was watery. with very little taste.  Hope the main crop, if they hang on are an improvement.

Main crop need caprification, breba doesnt.
Its a san pedro type fig....

Eli, how is the quality of  breba crop of Nazarti, since it was imported from Israel?  I am in zone 7 so it is much too cold for that wonderful wasp.  If I only get a breba crop, I hope it improves with age of the tree.  My one fig was very bland.  Give me an optimistic answer :-). Thanks

nazrati comprises of the main breba setting fig here sold comercially ... probably the wasp helps but it doesnt have to have it for the brebas...
i havent tastes it for a long time but its probably worth keeping not only for good taste but for its early ripening...

I have no idea regarding zones....
probably next year you will know better than me. i am growing it too btw and it is a very fast grower..
