This fig was recommended and gifted by a fellow fig enthusiast. Also known as Lion fig of Syria and Archipel. Breba medium brown fig with a honey flesh. Melts in your mouth a nice sweet taste.

Looks great Pino, I have a small Neveralla and have sampled figs from my original tree two years ago I believe and they do taste great an underrated fig for sure. __________________ Mississauga, ON, Canada Z5B/6A

Thanks Nelson I love it so far. Tastes great and looks like an early reopener. Will need to see how cold hardy it is and how it handles rain. This year is no rain test it is looking like a hot desert. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Hi Pino... here are my pics of my Osborne Prolific which is supposed to be similar or the same as Neverella (though as you mentioned there are different strains of OP out there). The leaves do look different. My OP has never fruited though after 5 years unfortunately. Whatever variety yours is it certainly looks tasty :) Tyler __________________ London, Ontario zone 6a Wish List: Martinenca Rimada, Genovese Nero AF, Galicia Negra, Brooklyn White

Mike, thanks for reminding me to look at the thread I had started earlier in the season on Grasa's Unknown Purple fig. Looking at the leaf shape, that is a good match. But I have had 2 of the figs and I recall them as being much more red in the interior. I realize I had forgotten to post a picture of the interior. I will try to do so next ripe fig. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/unknown-purple-grasa-7545149?pid=1288358532 __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross.

Oh WOW that looks like an interesting fig. Your pics got my mouth watering! __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

It is difficult to say since Canada is a much different growing environment compared to Indonesia. Your fig does look like my Neveralla breba. The leaves are also very similar. Are your photos of breba or main crop figs? __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

I am sorry since my English is not so good, may be I am mistake between breba and main crop (I can not found at my pocket dictionary). My sister told me that the left fruit is bigger than others, and its position in the main branch without leaves . It is pyriform with prominent neck. I thought it was main crop, but my sister insist it is breba. In the middle picture, it is main crop. The position same with your neverella picture, near leaf. How to make definition about main crop shape? It does not have prominent neck. Attached Images IMG_20151115_185551.jpg (537.16 KB, 9 views) FB_IMG_1447598559033.jpg (28.73 KB, 10 views)

Your fig does look similar and both may be from Syria but there is no way to know for sure unless you grow both them side by side. To your other question; My understanding is that "breba" is a Spanish word that means fig. This word is used in English (north America) to describe the 1st crop of figs. Most common and san pedro type ficus carica will produce 2 crops (sometimes 3 crops). Referred to as 1st crop and main crop figs. - The 1st crop of figs is produced on LAST years wood and is formed BELOW the new leaves. In my location 1st crop figs are produced in late June - August. - the main (2nd) crop figs are produced on this year's NEW wood and formed ABOVE the leaves. In my area main crop figs start in mid August to November. 1st crop and main crop figs will differ in looks, size and taste. In Italy figs are referred to; 1st crop is "fioroni" and main crop are called "forniti or more usually just fichi". Don't know but would be interesting to know how they are called in French, Portuguese, Greek or other languages?

Hi all. Is this picture fullripe neveralla? The taste is very sweet and juicy. Before ripe, the color were golden like all above, and turn darker after some days.

That is a very ripe fig! Looks very tasty? To me it looks very similar to Neveralla. What is it called in your country? __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

It is very tasty and sweet, it is called syrian honey local name in Indonesia because its honey pulp. Its breba size is bigger than main crop. Why is Neveralla also called Lion Fig of Syria? __________________ sofy
