I've never had a fig (breba) this early in Lancaster...ever. It was raining today and had been a pretty mild spring. The variety was binbin's "Unk Brandon". Binbin has some really BA unknown varieties. Anyway, despite the rain, the fig was really sweet, slight crunch and absolutely delicious. It didn't split, and the flavor was not diluted ( although it was my first one ever, so I don't know if the flavor would be even more concentrated under better conditions). My daughter thought it tasted like a ripe strawberry, and I'm inclined to agree. Prior to today, the first brebas I've had were desert king (June 28) and rockaway green (June 30).

Very nice, Bill! I've got this one from Ben too. Very excited to get some this year. Looks like my small tree is gonna put out around 20!

Thank You for posting about this interesting fig. I'm glad that I'm currently growing it.

Glad to see that it's producing for you Bill hows the taste if you have to compare it to something? Over here in Seattle, in ground, it produces 2 crops successfully even with our short season. Hopefully we can figure out what it's real name is. I love trying to figure out unknowns. 

Ben,

Whatever it is, it is awesome. The fact that it produces two crops in a short season makes it really unique. Most bifera varieties are longer season figs. This gives us, in the northeast, hope! Thanks, Ben!

Congratulations, Bill! Looks like a winner.

Hey Bill, Great looking Fig! Congrats on this early Fig!

Best wishes,

Frank

Congrats on the early fig!

Nice, Bill!
Here's my first fig - a Chicago Hardy. We had an early spring, so I'm getting a double crop! 😍😍😍
