Strange how everything affects the figs and yet they are one of the most resilient plants. Bin, do you think its increased size this year negatively affects its flavor?

Good to see that you're getting warm weather to ripen your breba crop, Frank. I'm in the south central part of the state in the Yakima valley, and we do get lots of hot weather to ripen the figs, but the birds find them irresistable, too. One fig that is really a great preformer here is Hollier. The flavor is excellent for a yellow fig and actually has a great "fig" taste. All my other yellow figs are very sweet but lack the "fig" taste. The winter hardiness of Hollier (pronounced "oh lee a") is comparable to celeste and hardy chicago, so even in our cold winters, I can sometimes get brebas.
