Hey, At last, my first figs this year. They were good, crunchy, no honey, but still good huge figs. Those are from my Dalmatie tree1 . I own it since September 2010. It went through some set back due to February 2012. I always protect it for the winter, and it was my guinea pig to find the easier winter protection. You can see that the maincrop already popped out. Enjoy ! One of the six trunks with a not ripe hanging breba One of the two ripe brebas of yesterday : On concrete: Open up, open up :) : I have spotted two more for later this week ... __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Hi Greenfig, The tree is in ground. The maincrop is smaller, more round and the interior is pink . __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Thanks! I hope to see some breba maybe next year, but mine will be in a container. I will try to keep it under 2 m tall. Somehow I have not seen many posts on this forum about this variety. __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

Hi Greenfig, It seems that lots of people don't go for brebas. I've seen some posts about this strain, but nothing about the brebas. There is in this forum a post about a Dalmatie that is loaded like a donkey. I was amazed when I saw the photo ! It seems that my figtree will have a good load of maincrop as well this year ... Let's hope ! That tree is part of my first batch of figtrees that I bought. It is directly in the clay dirt. I just made the plantation hole twice as big as the pot, and at that time I didn't give it compost nor the protection of an eighty liters trashcan. I realized later on, the problem of the rodents. But so far that tree is not bored ... My first Sultane and my damn Longue d'aout were part of that batch. Hands up, Dalmatie beat the two other strains. Sultane tree 1 did die completely in February 2012, and my "Longue d'aout" has just been surviving and apparently willing to grow this year at last ... It has some figs; I may taste some this year ... Who knows ... __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Nice photos jdsfrance! Interesting fig. The brebas resemble my Longue d'Aout brebas. When my LdA become ripe (day or two more), will post pictures.

Hi, This is my harvest of the day . The big ones are Dalmaties (4) , then Brownturkeys (2) ( left column second and the one on its right) and 1 ufti (Bottom left - should normally be red fleshed... ). BT and ufti could have stayed two days more but I had to take them today :) All were good . I wish I had more sun the last week instead of the constant rain ... but that's life ! __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here
