Unknown Adriatic Grasa | Breba. The date of the first breba was 27 May 2014 last season. Talk about consistency. Although it was not the first breba of the 2015 season - Narragansett #43 holds that distinction - it was rich, juicy and sweet. With little rain and cooler than normal temperatures, it is thriving this season. As it was in 2014, maturing a main crop is the question. For my records, climate and taste buds, JH Adriatic is different and better than Unknown Adriatic Grasa. Grasa has this one excellent breba and I hope it has a main crop this season...or else.

Very nice.....will get to try soon....thanks for sharing pictures

Is this the same as Adriatic GB? If so I have one from jon and had a couple brebas from it, mine fell off a day or two too early though but for a small tree it sure is productive!

Ryan,
Hopefully, Jon and/or Grasa will answer your question. I am out of touch with respect to the current/updated name of this fig (if it has been changed). It was an unknown and Grasa found it and believes it to be Adriatic. Hence the name. I briefly outline my history with this fig in the link included in post #1.

Thanks JD, nice pics as always.

A lot of people feel that Grasa's Adriatic is very similar to Desert King and that makes more sense than it being an Adriatic.  So you may never get a main crop out of it until you and FMD get a wasp colony established.

Thanks Bob. It appears as if there are about 10 fruit that are determining whether or not they want to ripen. It rained heavy this evening so I should have another data point. If it provides 10+ breba of similar quality, it is definitely worth keeping.

Thank you JD for posting info and pictures of this fig. I've gota get one, one day. I do have several Desert Kings, but not that one. I like the red pulp color. Most folks don't know it but DK is one of the hardiest figs out there! I've got 6 in pots but accidently left one our side all winter last year and believe or not, that due has breba on it now---not as many as those winterized inside but fruit is fruit. It survived 5 degree temps in Charlotte twice. So, keep me in mind down the road.

Adriatic GB or Adriatic GC. Some were originally labeled as GC but GB is the correct designation. Likely not an Adriatic, but too many people already know it as Adriatic GB.

Thanks DJ and Jon. Now I know.

We had two more breba with the potential for seveL more and I must admit that Adriatic GB is VERY good. It has a slight crunch and it consistent in size and flavor. If it offers good figs this early - even if breba with no promise of a main crop - next season, then I will say it is a keeper. There has been minimal rain so there is still much to learn.
