Strawberry Verte breba

While the main crop is one of the best around, the SV breba is nothing to write about. Nothing in common except the color and size. It was slightly sweet but dry and not juicy. Not worth waiting for which means you can trim your tree as much as you can in the Fall.

Say you have a nice size tree that only produce main crop ( my lsu purple ) does it make a difference between pruning and not pruning

Nice pictures Igor , that means you will have more cuttings then.. How is it compared to Dalmatie or Stella as far as flavor on both breba and main crops?

That one doesn't look very good. But then I like both breba and main of SV at a more mature stage than that. They will both shrivel up on the bush. That makes them sweeter. I have had a few SV breba that were very good. Similar to the main crop.

In my experience, it does. The more you prune, the more new growth you will get along the entire branch that would produce the main crop. If you do not prune, only the tips (mostly ) produce the main crop while the rest of the branch might not do much.

As I mentioned , I would not grow the SV for the breba.
As far as the main crop , my SV is much more productive than a Stella and earlier too.
I think SV is better between those two, but both of them are very good.

I have more breba hanging on the tree, will wait until it shrivels to compare.

In my climate, 3 year old tree is quite mature, the trunk is 2.5 inches thick since the season is 11 months per year. At this point, almost all the figs should be either perfect or heading to a dumpster.

Is the SV the same as your Green Ishcia?  Some say they are the same, others disagree.

In my own personal opinion I really don't think they are the same. I have them growing side by side and I can tell some differences. Would I bet my life on it?.....NO!

Looks fantastic. You should do video reviews like Frozen Joe.

No, they are not the same.
