Violette de Bordeaux Breba

I picked this breba today from my VDB.  It was small, but sweet.   It had a good "fig" flavor.  Overall it was nice for a breba.

Hi Joe.  Having a fresh fig now sounds like heaven.

Here in Zone 7, it's going to be a little longer, but I have a couple White Hybrids really starting to size up now, so soon.

We have a VDB from Raintree Nursery, and they are good.

But has anybody tried both the Raintree and the Edible Landscape VDBs?

As I recall, people say they are different, and that maybe the EL one is better?

Best wishes to all.

John,


I can't say whether Raintree or EL's is better.  I only have this one VDB tree, and it came from a forum member, so I'm not sure how it compares to EL's or Raintree's.  All I can say is that it is a good grower and puts out a lot of fruit.  The tree is still small but it had about a dozen brebas on it this spring.  Once the weather turned hot down here I pinched off all except for this one, so that the plant could focus on growth and the main crop.

I got my Vdb from Willis and it tastes wonderful(not recommending them, now) I had about 8 nice brebas. I ate one and was going to put a bird net on it the next morning, but the birds beat me to them before I got it covered. The brebas are delicious.
