I planted my RDB in the ground during the spring of 2011 and this year it put out about a dozen figs.  We had too much rain during ripening so they were a little watery.  They were still very, very good and better than the dozen or so other varieties I've had.  Only Negronne has tasted better.  They resisted the water better than Celeste and White Marseilles and come in earlier than Negronne.
