Olympian breba

My 5 gallon Olympian produced 2 nice sized brebas, which I picked and enjoyed this morning. One weighed in at 79 grams, and the other 63. I very much enjoy the flavor and texture of this one. Not overly sweet, thin skin, light seed crunch, and a lingering fig flavor. It's a nice looking fig as well, IMO.

Very nice. I bought a couple of tissue culture ones off of ebay. They are tiny even. I live in the seattle area and found a larger plants in a federal way nursery last weekend. I'm looking forward to trying these. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Gary
Real nice and juicy brebas.. love those long neck figs

Mine just started setting breba crop figlets.  It is wonderful variety. 

Happy for you, Mario. It looks like a great fig!

Thanks, I will!

I'd love to see more pictures if anyone has any.

Update, picked a breba from mine today and it was excellent.  I see this variety becoming popular in the future.

Gary, those looked ripened to perfection!

What a pretty fig.  I am now extra excited that this is one of the last varieties I have coaxed into rooting.  Thanks Gary for the beautiful pics.  You could make a painting out of that one.  Happy figging, Jodi

Very delicious looking. 

Where did this one originate?

After three years, I have figs for the first time on my tree this season. Looking forward to sampling the fruit.

" Olympian was confirmed to be a distinct cultivar via DNA testing when compared with the 270 varieties at the USDA ARS Germplasm Repository in California." According to one nursery.
