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. __________________ Art- Western Pa. 6a

Of all the Chiappetta figs I ate this year so far. This one was the best. Attached Images Chiappetta_Breba.jpg (121.64 KB, 20 views) Chiappetta.jpg (119.84 KB, 23 views) Chiappetta.....jpg (163.64 KB, 26 views) Chiappetta...jpg (165.50 KB, 25 views) __________________ Art- Western Pa. 6a

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. __________________ Art- Western Pa. 6a

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. __________________ Zone 6a Sarver, PA Wish list; Rafed's Genovese Nero
