It was picked this morning. Excellent delicious flavor. This is a breba crop. First person to guess what it is wins his/her choice of green or dormant cuttings of this variety.

No right answer yet. Okay I'll help narrow it down.... It's the first time I try the breba of this variety so there's no breba photo of this fig on treesofjoy.com yet. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

And the winner is Debbie. This is a breba from a brooklyn dark. Debbie contact me. Last year I practiced grafting figs, so I used a bud from a Brooklyn Dark into a seedling fig. This year I got a breba on it. I had the Brooklyn Dark in ground for years, and I don't cover it and sprouts back, but I lose the breba. This year the graft produced a breba. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

Surprise, surprise! Now I do see it. Congrats, Debbie. BTW, It is similar (but not same) to Sal(C). Apparently, three NE fig-people found 3 differently-located (very similar, and possible the same) mother trees in the NE area; me, Bass and Al. "GM#17", "Brooklyn Dark" and "Sicilian Red". http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2249851 I have seen the fruit skin changing colors. It starts as red/green (some stripes), to all-red (wine), and finally almost-black (when very ripe). The fruit shape also changes shape. It starts almost round (think golf-ball for shape/size) and then it elongates as it fully ripens. Fruit is very sweet. It is a rather late fig. It does ripen a significant number of fruits here, but some does not make it before the cold arrives... [I do my observations of GM#17, mostly by visiting the inground mother tree.] __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

@Dom, that's the main reason I didn't guess with that answer. But I already have one that's about 18" tall right now so I would've wanted to re-gift the cutting. __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8

Let me doublecheck and make sure I don't have a spare. If you don't hear anything from me in the next 24-48 hours, drop me a private message for a reminder to look. If I have a spare, I'll be happy to send to you in the fall (after temps are below 75º @ mid-day) if you're interested in the variety. __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8
