Here's one that looks nothing like the main crop. I had it growing in the greenhouse, so it didn't get that purple color. This was another good one for a breba.

I picked these two a couple days ago. I had to pick them a little early because of the bugs. These ones weren't bad for being picked early. You can see they get more purplish.

Hey Pat, That's a nice looking plant. The breba doesn't compare to the main crop, but it's worth keeping.

Of all the Chiappetta figs I ate this year so far. This one was the best.

Dale, Try and leave them on the tree as long as possible. As you can see that last fig had a drop of honey at the eye.

It looks good Art. Nice solid inside with no void! That's a plus. My Chiappetta is off to a slow start from being so cold this part winter, it has just recently sprouted leaves. If I get anything at all it will just be a couple figs.
