don't know about the others, but VdB has good breba and main crop. at least mine does...

I wouldn't be able to take all of them off even though it might be best. I'd leave one on each out of weakness.

I don't know about the others either but I second the recommendation on VDB. Their brebas are good.

Thanks guys , Will keep the vdb breba . Last year I left some black mission breba on , and they looked great but didn't taste great . It was the first breba crop so might get better but It really delayed the main crop to the point that they didn't develop with enough heat and were mediocre . A truly ripe mission is awesome . I will leave 1 or 2 of the others for trial purposes . It would be nice to have some breba that are so good that you could sacrifice the main crop , for a longer season of fruit eating . I have 3 desert King now in their third year , but they are lazy weak growing little pukes , which will be composted if they don't smarten up. John
