Anna's Bronx white has given me very large, sweet honey style brebas last year and this. Running them in the dehydrator with no heat concentrates those flavors. The fig in the upper right is a Desert King which was good but not as strongly flavored. Tonight I was running around the yard pulling whatever was almost ripe off of the plants while the 'tomato' sirens were going off. Just as I was walking through my back door the torrent started. Here's a Stella breba from tonight that didn't have much flavor. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

I have to agree with greenfig. I know that the dehydrator probably made it worse....but that is one ugly fig. It better be extra delicious to make up for that bad case of ugly. __________________ In GA, Zone 7b/8a Wish list: more space to put in figs.

Considering our record rainfall she's pretty good looking and very good tasting. Her superficial blemishes don't affect taste or texture at all as you can see by the inside photos. Go take cold showers, guys. You're just jealous. :) __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Nice, Bob. Were those brebas achieved with the use of a greenhouse or using the fig shuffle? __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross. And any cold hardy early fig.
