Early spring,early healthy brebas ...my Violette de Bordeuax tree.

Hi Marius, nice brebas. Mine doesn't hold on to any here. How do VDB brebas taste?

Awesome looking! I've also got brebas on my VdB, although mine are smaller and darker. Also got a few brebas (or leftover mains from last year) on Excel, Grantham's Royal, Jean, Black Madeira, Bifara, Danny's Delight, Bayernfeige Violetta, Osborne Prolific. And of course, Desert King is loaded.

Nice pics Marius! My VDB is just a baby so I will have to wait to see mine :)

But nice to see the pics in the meantime!

Nice tree I just got done moving my vdb into the garage so it doesn't freeze tonight with the cold temps.

Interesting . . it's early in the year . . even for southern states I'd imagine . . I see that corrugated plastic sheeting up in those pics . . so . . it appears you have created a large greenhouse? . . is that the case? . . where are you from?

I mean . . I'm in a mediterranean climate here . . and I have nothing to show.

And what do you think of the Panache? . . I have several cuttings rooting right now. But the donor told me the skins are thick and not pallatable

Hello Marius, Yes I see the brebas...but the thing that's really catching my eyes are whats behind them in the picture. Looks like a huge greenhouse.

• NO!!!...it's not a greenhouse,i will post some new pictures...you confused the plastic siding of my little porch with a greenhouse. Marius

Yeah well . . unless that's a greenhouse . . you hav'ta live in the tropics to spit out crops this early

and I should know . . just look at my avatar . . you don't turn a glowing green without ample amounts of spirits and the tropics

...this is my plant after the frost on monday night...see? no greenhouse...

  Me again...on that monday night,cause of the frost,i've lost 90% of the new green buds on 45 trees in big pots.But...the only ones not affected by the frost(looking so far,very cold hardy) are:noire de caromb,nero 600,tacoma violet,nordland,florea,vasilika sika and ronde de bordeaux.Pictures were taken today.

Thanks for the pics Marius. Sorry to see the leaf damage on the White Triana in your other post, hopefully the brebas will make it.
 My trees are still small so I was able to move them back in but I can't wait to get them back outside.
  Among the cold hardy varieties do you have any plans on planting one outside instead of keeping in pot?

  Take care,
   Pete

Nice setup Marius . . So you basically have a corrugated plastic wind break on your patio . . pretty cool setup.

Do you plan on leaving your figs potted? . . or do you have space to plant them in ground . . . or is climate enough of an isuue you want them to remain potted?

I see some figs in the ground in the pics, guys. Look through all his posts for some excellent info and pics. My inground trees here are leafing out with tiny brebas, we had exactly 2 weeks of winter this year, so far...

Marius, get that furniture out of that corner next year and pack more of them in there until May. The closer to the walls, the better, they do not need space when they have so few leaves. I think that is why those survived the cold so well, because the brick radiates heat. It looks like you could stretch a sheet of floating row cover/agricultural fleece/Agribon across that whole growing space and make it ten degrees warmer.
