I thought I'd share a few photos of my 1st Abebereira breba. I've been watching it for a few days, and touched it to see how soft it might be getting, and of course, it dropped off. The taste was good, moderately sweet and figgy. Not as good as main crop last year, but I'll take it. __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross

I have one breba I'm hoping to try. The main crop showed up not too long ago. They were large figs last year! __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

Nice Gary,how was the main season crop on that last year?I've often wondered how this and the Branca stacked up given that Preto came from the same site. __________________ Paul.Simi Valley,Ca.Zone 9a/Sunset 18

Hi Paul, the crop last year was excellent, though I can't compare with Preto or Branco yet. My Abebereira is in a large container. I've now started a layer from it, which is in ground. My Preto and Branco are also in ground, and will produce figs for the first time this year. I have a collection of Portuguese varieties, thanks mostly to Harvey, and look forward to comparing them. This year I should get to try Black Madeira, Preto, Figo Branco, White in White Madeira, Capelas, Carvalho, Mel do Algarve, Lampeira, and a few more. I'll let you know how they compare. __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross

Hi Mark, should be mid August through mid October, if last year is an indication. __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross
