Hi,

Here we go with the brebas  of "Goutte d'or". The tree(s) is/are still young, but that is a good start for the biggest tree.

Here is the biggest tree showing the maincrop. The leaf is similar to "Dalmatie" ...

Here is a huge breba that I harvested a bit soon but I feared the birds would peck on it. That fig was huge, good, light in taste, and just enough sugary, but still good. No crunch, no seeds, the skin was soft and thin. A bit too yellow green to my likings, but it grew shadowed by the leaves and other stems...

Those two were already better looking, but the birds got them before I did the next day- so I can't tell how they tasted ... But from the pic ... They would have been fantastic especially the one in the front. The one on the back suffered a bit from the cold spring, but still developed to an acceptable level.
