I just harvested the last fruit on my tree today. Rain yesterday and today plus ants - did not want to take a chance.  The fruit was quite good. I have one in a pot and one in the ground. The potted one bore about 20 fruits this year. The in ground one is bigger but no fruit. Both are in the second year. While I give the potted one a light dose of MG often the in ground only gets organic ferts now and then. Hoping the in-ground one will produce fruit next year.

I had both in part shade. I moved the potted one into full sun after our high temps went below the 100's a couple of weeks ago. On a hot sunny day the leaves wilt a bit but recovers by evening. I think this also helped ripen the last batch.

What I like about OP:
1. Sweet fruit. The stem end is fairly watery but the bottom half is very sweet. Sweeter than Celeste. Surgery sweet and not much of a figgy flavor yet. I start eating from the stem end and save the best for last. I love the contrast.

2. Nice size fruit. About 45 grams for the larger ones.

3. Nice foliage on the tree and nice form.

4. Fruit on it ripened over a 2 month period. Small batches at a time. Not sure if this is due to growing in a pot?

5. Birds have not figured it out yet!

What is not that great:
1. Large eye. Ants get in very easily. Did the Tanglefoot but sometimes I forget.
2. Large eye. Have not had any beetle or souring issues yet but .....

Thanks for taking the time to post pictures and give your impression of OP. Its always interesting to read and see pics about different cultivars.

You are welcome Pete. Just wanted to hear others impressions of this fig too. It is not the prettiest fruit but it has its positive qualities.

Thanks for taking the time to update the forum with info on your OP. Great looking composition of figs on your plate, and I always enjoy close-up shots of nice figs right on the branches like pix no. 4.

Good luck next year with the tree that didn't produce. I wonder if it just didn't get the proper dosage of daily sun?

Thanks again for posting!

A productive tree. As is my tree has hundreds of main crop figs. Researchers in Hawaii conducted test on a bunch of figs & found Osborne Prolific has the highest indicates sugar content. It is a reliable variant here.

Thank you for the very well thought out information.

Mark, Paully and Michael thank you for your comments and feedback!

Does anyone know if the fruit ripens over a extended period of time when grown in ground?

When grown in ground, the tree takes longer to fruit because it puts all its energy in setting up roots. When in pots instead it fruits faster but then it gets root bound.
The one inground instead when it starts producing will produce more and more.

Picked one of two breba's today. The Mocking bird got the other one earlier this week. Taste similar to main crop. Somewhat watery toward the stem end and sweet toward the bottom end. 47 grams.

Ruvan,
Thanks for the Update.
If it was purchased commercially, could you please name the source of your tree?
I'm interested in comparing to the ones from Edible Landscaping. Attached picture is one purchased this winter. Thanks.

I planted a OP in the yard still a little guy, got another one in a Gal pot i was thinking of listing on ebay. what would be a good asking price?
