Sucre vert or not?

Hi to everyone on my first post.

Hoping to take advantage of the experience of this forum to sort out some confusion on a pot grown sucre vert. This was bought April 19 2015 and it ripened a couple of figs in October which looked like I would expect of the variety.
The tree was restarted into growth in February and is now leafing out and showing 34 of what I assume are breba figs. That is the source of my confusion.
I thought sucre vert was a single crop late fruiting fig.
Anyone know for sure if sucre vert can have a breba crop or is it possible that the tree is another variety?
Another thought is might this be connected to the fact that when delivered in its pot the tree was still dormant not starting into growth until May. Could this throwing out normal fruiting patterns?
The attached photos may help with identification.

The orginal Sucre Vert (Baud) is a main crop only Unifera. I got one from reads nursery uk and from baud. I have doubts about reads sucre vert as it looked very similar to Pingo de Mel . Your tree looks very impressive . Did you bring them indoors or in a heated grrenhouse . I live in the south east.
Cheers

Hi Vinny,
I got my sucre vert from reads as well. It was baud's description that was the source of my confusion.
So it seems reads sucre vert is not the same as baud's.
I have looked up pingo de mel and that does fit in with the breba crop.
Disappointed that it's not the sucre vert I thought it was, but on the other hand it should give me my earliest figs this year.
It's greenhouse grown. I kept the greenhouse frost free from February although it was a pretty mild winter anyway and I'm within a mile of the sea on the Hampshire coast.
I haven't got any figs from baud. Did you order yours online and would you recommend him.
Thanks
John
