Marius,Navid What about this variant has spiked your interests ? Or rather what do you like about it? What does it taste like? Just curious. Wondering if I will soon be searching for this variant soon! Lol. Every time I see a post or hear about a new variety I get all excited and then it's a quest to get it. Thank you guys for fueling my obsession. I am beside myself with all the wonderful variants out there. Thanks a head for any info you have. happy fig growing

another Portuguese fig, right?

Hello!
Is this the fig you are talking about ? (Bêbera branca)
Not long ago I invited my cousin Aurora for one of their preferred dishes.-fresh anchovies 'au champagne' and she accepted on one condition:
-to bring the wine and the dessert-
I accepted and she brought this nice plate figs
cheers

francisco,

your figs are lovely as ever.

Wow!  That looks really delicious!

Bebera Branca? but it is purple on the outside!

See this link for pictures of Bebera Branca :  http://www.susanvanderveen.com/FIGS/Branca/Branca.html

And this one for Abebererira:  http://www.susanvanderveen.com/FIGS/Abebereria/Abebereria.html

I haven't checked lately but Jon may have some pics on is varieties pages as well. He may also have cuttings from both of these for sale when he makes his list available for this season.

Looks like the two links I posted above didn't create hyperlinks. But if you highlight the link and right click on it you will get the option to go directly to the sight/images.

EDIT: Fixed the links above.

Hi,

Thank you Pete for the compliment. I will convey your nice comments to Aurora and she will be delighted. These figs are hers..But they are really delicious specially coming late in the season, which was not at all wet thus enabling ideal ripening weather for these late varieties.

Thank you Suzi, both dessert and lunch are in fact delicious.

Grasa, the skin (and pulp) color on this variety , as well as in many others may be affected by climate as well as soil composition. These figs as practically all the others in this region come mainly from calcareous soils which are ideal for figs. Have seen this same variety with a purple skin all over, others purple with longitudinal shades of green and yellowish, some darker other lighter.
In the peak of their season there are quite big figs - over the 100+ grams

Bill, the most conspicuous aspect on these 'bêbera branca' is its rather long foot (stalk). Good practise on pick up from the tree, must leave that foot with the fruit.
I have seen the links but they seem to be probably the same variety but from different climates...( less hot ,. more humid ?)

Grasa, Yes. It's a Portuguese fig.

Lampo, I am not familiar with Bêbera branca, so I can not answer your question. Sorry. Hopefully others with more knowledge about this variant will chime in.


Navid.

oh boy.....
i guess thats another Portuguese variety this Portuguese guy needs to have! Where do i sign up?

Hello,

Navid, I shall dig around to try and find pics of this variety grown in the North where it is cooler and far more humid. What I may add is that they are somehow difficult to root up. Have tried 3 years ago with two cuttings at the right season 'in perlite' and had no sucssess.

Stevin, Thank you, in fact I have just shown the figs. The real owner/grower is my cousin Aurora and to get that plate of 'bêberas' I had to offer her that lunch of delicious 'fresh anchovies au champagne'. I will tell her that you admire her figs!
