I am surprised that the Brunswick main crop ripens late for you (your summers are warmer than mine). I always thought that Brunswick is an early ripening variety, or at least earlier than VDB.


In south of Ukraine ( Melitipol) Brunswick is a bit earlier than VDB, but for me it has not shown good results as VDB and Randino gives figs very fast after 5 leaf pinch (count down start noticeably earlier) than Brunswick after pinch, that could be the reason why my Randino and VDB clone result is much better than on Brunswick.
Second crop figlets appear too late on mine.
May be with age last one will improove its ripening. Or I get rid of it as I am promised several early varieties for tests (thanks to these persons in advance for their generous offer).

According to book issued in Crimean Nikitas botanic garden Randino is in same terms of ripening as Dalmatie (around). But pinching make miracle on Randino and VDB and do not influence on Dalmatie. Randino start ripening a week or a bit earlier than Dalmatie (mid September here) and finish most of them till mid October.

When are the Brebas ripening?

After pinch a few Brebas.
This year after autumn frost damade was only one Breba mid August. This year May was cold and June was wet and also cold enough.
Previous years most common - begining of August.
One year was end of July.

Thanks Serge, I appreciate the information! It sounds like on a good season I could get some nice Brebas and most of the main crop. The timing of the Brebas would line up nice for my zone I think.

Welcome!
One pal from south of Ukraine had more breba than main on his Randino in 20 liter pot. Looks like all depends how you cut or pinch branches of the variety.

This tree sounds really nice...

I think that this Randino fig looks very similar to Longue d'août. Maybe they are the same. There are small differences, but this could be due to climatic conditions. Is anybody growing both of these figs?

Longue d'août main crop.

If they're the same that would save me some trouble since I have a LDA already, even if it's not mature yet.

Not the same.
Look photo inside.

You're right, the color and shape seem different. LDA is a bit more red. Also I'm not sure bass would have posted of they weren't different

Fedy,
Beatiful figs and photos!
do you have a photo of your LdA leaves?

Thanks.
Randino and LDB.

Both figs and leaves look very similar but I see the difference!  
The comparison gets complicated even more since there is variability in the leaves (post #8) and fruit.

I have a fig Melanzana AF that many people have said looks LdA but I think it looks a lot more like Randino.  Is Randiino in circulation in Italy? 

For discussion sake here are my 2 posts on Melanzana af;

Interesting comparison... so Melanzana (isn't that italian for eggplant?) and Randino may be the same or closely related but different than Brunswick? In any case, I think that Randino/Melanzana are very desirable if as cold hardy as suggested....  I would be interested in cuttings if available... Thanks!

Pino, Tsparozi,
Randino is much superior than Brunswick.
Randino is in circulation in Ukraine, sourse Nikita Botanik garden in Yalta, Crimea. By Crimea NBG this was reseived from Texas (USA).
Now Crimea occupied by russian troops, so now Randino can be distributed in Russia...
I can attach book for hundreds varieties descriptions made by NBS, but only in Russian language if it can help...

Серж ,а до того ,как Крым не был занят русскими войсками ,посадочный материал из НБС был недоступен россиянам? Не мешайте садоводство с политикой,дерьмо на выходе получается.

Vladis, as usual you are very polite, thank you so much for such a comment. :)

Vlad / Serge... The subtleties of the language are sometimes lost to us in the translation and perhaps in the conversation between you, that is not necessarily a bad thing...   :-)  In any case a US sourcing for Randino / Melanzana would be desired as import restriction make it very challenging to source from outside US borders. Thank you both for your input and feedback and please do provide additional and continued info on the interesting and desirable cultivars available in your regions.... The fig unites us....

Vladis, Serge, i am interested in some cuttings of Randino. I am in neighboring Hungary so shipping shouldnt be a problem. Let me know if you have some to share. Thanks!

pverdes3 ,Hey. I have Randin from 3 different sources. I have to check the figs on all plants in the description of the identity "of sorts of figs," NBS Yalta. This - the only source of detailed descriptions of pomological Randin. I suppose that some Ukrainian growers are varieties of figs like Randin. Maybe it Brunswick and Long de Out.

Vladis, Serge offered to send me some cuttings if I manage to get him the money for shipping. I have Brunswick but don't have Longue d'Aout, so I am still interested in your collection. I am close to you, maybe a bit warmer climate. Thanks.

I have no interest in Brunswick, it rains too much here
