A few years ago I got an Orphan (Jin Ao Fen) from UCD. I heard it would be difficult to grow, just like some other cultivars not accustomed to the cool Pacific NW. I babied it along and kept it in my greenhouse, but it looked like a disease killed it the second year. Can't say what exactly went wrong or what I'd do differently next time. Now that I picked-up an Olympian, I have no wish list because I'm trying to stick with the handful of varieties that are known to do well in W. WA. __________________ -Charles Cool Pacific NW Zone 8b

According to UC davis 2005 fig report, Orphan figs are big and sweet and early ripen, It's Breba figs has brix level 25, it is a extremely sweet fig, Also, figs weight 105g/each , it is big fig. It looks very good, I guess that it must have other weakness that nobody mention it. __________________ - BC, Canada, PNW Zone 8 with windy ( Zone7 - branches damage at winter) - Wish list - Granthams Royal, RdB, any heavy breba varieties or early one crop varieties.

Congratulations, Brian! I was surprised to know that there is an actual tree named "Orphan." Glad this worked out for you. __________________ Meg-Hardiness Zone 10a Looking for...
