This fig was recommended and gifted by a fellow fig enthusiast.   
Also known as Lion fig of Syria and Archipel.
Breba medium brown fig with a honey flesh.
Melts in your mouth a nice sweet taste.

Looks tasty! 

Nice fig and skin,

figajealous here :)


Thanks Eli and Mulhero!

This fig may not be in the super impressive group but it was refreshing and different from my other figs.  Its a keeper for me.

Pino. That's a nice looking fig. Enjoy.

This fig a pleasant early July breba surprise has suddenly swollen its main figs and they look almost ready to enjoy.
Will update when they are fully ripe.

Looks great Pino, I have a small Neveralla and have sampled figs from my original tree two years ago I believe and they do taste great an underrated fig for sure.

Thanks Nelson

I love it so far. 
Tastes great and looks like an early reopener.  Will need to see how cold hardy it is and how it handles rain.  This year is no rain test it is looking like a hot desert.

This looks so beautiful, totally seedless fig.
I am so tempted to grow one of this variety.
Thank you "pino" for sharing the pictures.

Thanks for the photos. Can you what pics of the typical leaves?

Thanks Ed!
This plant is just 2nd year single stem the leaves are getting a little beat up now.

Thanks pino!
Yes a lot of my leaves are beat up like that too

IMO, this is what Grasa's unkown Seattle purple fig is.

Hi Pino... here are my pics of my Osborne Prolific which is supposed to be similar or the same as Neverella (though as you mentioned there are different strains of OP out there). The leaves do look different. My OP has never fruited though after 5 years unfortunately. Whatever variety yours is it certainly looks tasty :)

Thanks for the OP photos Tyler!  You have first dibs as soon as I can take a cutting.
My friend I got this from is away until October I will ask him then where his source was then.

Mike, thanks for reminding me to look at the thread I had started earlier in the season on Grasa's Unknown Purple fig.  Looking at the leaf shape, that is a good match.  But I have had 2 of the figs and I recall them as being much more red in the interior.  I realize I had forgotten to post a picture of the interior.  I will try to do so next ripe fig.

Please see this post for pics of Grasa's Purple Unk - I do not think it is a Neveralla.

Looks good! Thanks for sharing Pino, I didn't know this variety.

Oh WOW that looks like an interesting fig. Your pics got my mouth watering!

It is difficult to say since Canada is a much different growing environment compared to Indonesia.

Your fig does look like my Neveralla breba.  The leaves are also very similar.

Are your photos of breba or main crop figs?  

The left fruit picture is main crop, temperature is more than 30 celcius..the middle fruit picture is breba (maybe, i forget..because the middle fruit picture taken two years ago)

I am sorry since my English is not so good, may be I am mistake between breba and main crop (I can not found at my pocket dictionary). My sister told me that the left fruit is bigger than others, and its position in the main branch without leaves . It is pyriform with prominent neck. I thought it was main crop, but my sister insist it is breba. In the middle picture, it is main crop. The position same with your neverella picture, near leaf. How to make definition about main crop shape? It does not have prominent neck.
