Petite Negri EL Breba

Very tasty but whats odd is that the brebas were half the size of main crop is that normal???







Most interesting.  In my case, what is the same is the overall shape and structure of the fruit.  The differences are that the fruits are much bigger, the white is not stained, and it's much more salmon color than magenta (albeit, I was picking more unripe fruit by the time I thought to examine closely and not gobble them up).

Very nice looking tree, nice leaf pattern and shine. How was the eye on the main crop? Large or small? Did the main crop have a larger void in the center of the fig? Thanks for the nice pictures.

Exact to my PN from Raintree. The fruits, size of main compared to Breba, and leaf shininess compared to a flatter sheen of Negronne/VdB.

The Breba was not that big but very good taste.

Dominick I agree I was surprised 1st by size difference generally breba's are usually bigger than maincrop but what it lacked in size it gained in flavor.

Hi Nelson,
Looks nice.  My Petit Negri (EL) has similar shape to the leaf (the 3-lobed ones), but mine doesn't have any shine like that.  I just got my PN from them a month or two ago.  Very light green and not shiny for mine.  But similar leaf shape.  (And I'm looking forward to it getting bigger... it's not growing very much).

BTW, I don't know if it's usual for PN breba to be smaller than main crop... but one of the unknowns that I have (Frank's Fig) is that way too... breba smaller than main.  (Opposite of the "usual" I guess).

Seeing those figs has me looking forward to my PN growing up.

Hey Mike , I am very pleased with the flavor of my petite negri both crops are very good tasting it's a very slow grower got more growth this season than the two previous seasons combined. I'm sure you will like it.

Thanks for the post, Nelson.
Glad to here that PN from El makes good tasting breba.
I had a couple on my plant this spring, I think the dog got them.
One day they were just gone.
