If anyone has pics of this fig and leaves could you please post them. I understand that these figs actually have a long appearance. __________________ GARDEN PICS http://s117.photobucket.com/user/thepodpiper/library/?sort=3&page=1

Heres a couple of photos of my Longue d'Aout. On the plate is English Brown Turkey, White Marseille and a split L d'A. The weird angle the fruit is hanging in is not because I'm on the other side of the world, it's just because I posted it quick without editing and aligning the photo right, please forgive me. __________________ Michael The Fighugger Z8, Western Europe coastal climate like PNW. In other words, Breba-country. Wishlist: Yellow Yugo/Serbian Yellow and any other fig variety that carries a high number of breba figs to maturity without pollination by the fig wasp. Yellow Neches, Becane (might be the same) and any other main crop fig variety, that ripens earlier than Ronde de Bordeaux

Mario, They certainly do resemble each other. Those are some very long figs! __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

Mario, I have Longue d'Aout started/growing from Franks cuttings. Just transplanted two. I'm pretty sure I have two more that need to be separated if you want one. Mike

Longue d"aout looks great, tastes great and many people have said it is good producer and cold hardy! I have a 2yr old Melanzana AF(Calabrese) that looks very very similar and also produced excellent breba and main crop figs last summer! I would also love to trial Longue d"aout along side and solve this little fig mystery. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Very nice looking brebas! The main crop looks TOTALLY different from these elongated beauties. Just mentioning this. Does anyone have any pics of the main crop? __________________ -Charles Cool Pacific NW Zone 8b

The breba and main crop are different in shape, color, taste and size.
