This has to be one of the best BIG figs out there. My wife and I really enjoyed it. It was sweet and juicy. We gave it a 7 out of 10. Really good for a breba.

Art, this is one huge Breba omg! Fantastic, i love the look of L'd A in general, but this is outstanding. The fig is big like you are living in Turkey or something and not in a northern climate! __________________ Hi from Germany! (Zone 7b) Christian

Wow! My in ground LdA is the strongest grower of the bunch. I 'think' fig embryos are forming, which would be such a treat, as I've never tasted it. __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

Hi Kubota1, Nice figs ! My lda figtree decided on her own to not make brebas this year, although she'd got no winter damage. two or three weeks ago, a dozen figlets appeared ... Let's hope she will raise them till they are ripe ... Lda has really a special and distinctive taste compared to the other figs . __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

No. No, I can't. I have this crazy image in my head, though, of standing over a row of figs with a bill rolled into a tube in my hand. (I guess I have seen too many movies.) __________________ Dale non compost mentis in Zone 6a

Aik, I'm not sure why you wouldn't get any breba crop. Do your trees go dormant for long? I know LdA is known for getting breba. I still have a couple more to pick. Maybe next year:) __________________ Art- Western Pa. 6a
