Summer's greatest haul-2014 fig crop Pt.2

That first pic would look good framed and showcased on a wall imo.

Nice plate of figs but your count is off by one.

I wanna be like you when I grow up Rafaelissimmo....or by next summer.... Working on my collection...

Michael, you are right! I edited the post above to add Brooklyn White (so-so fig). Elfarach, you will get there. Container growing is slow growing, but I have no choice. But sometimes I wonder if I will ever get a bumper crop.

Benedica!  You are having such great success with your figs this year.  How do you do it in Zone 7B?

Pino, it is not all success, I have some varieties that produced no fruit, some diseased plants, few brebas, slow growth on babies in 1-gals. As I said, container growing has some benefits, and some drawbacks.

Hi Rafael.
Beautiful pictures and collection  enjoy.

I am bumping this to add 2 white figs. My first Green Ischia, finally (taste was not so great).

Taste was good. I will keep this to see if it produces more next year. The one breba on this tree was gigantic, 110 grams. These are main crop.

The Green Ischias looked good, surprised they didn't taste better. It's amazing how purple the Negronne and MvsB ripened. Nice pictures and report.

I am sure the green ischia will improve with time. Its a good fig.

Wow, so how did the giant breba taste?

I posted a pic of the breba somewhere, it was sugary sweet and good quality, but not complex or unique. Good enough to want more, for sure. I hope it gives me more than one next year.
