My 5 gallon Olympian produced 2 nice sized brebas, which I picked and enjoyed this morning. One weighed in at 79 grams, and the other 63. I very much enjoy the flavor and texture of this one. Not overly sweet, thin skin, light seed crunch, and a lingering fig flavor. It's a nice looking fig as well, IMO.

Very nice. I bought a couple of tissue culture ones off of ebay. They are tiny even. I live in the seattle area and found a larger plants in a federal way nursery last weekend. I'm looking forward to trying these. Thanks for sharing.

Update, picked a breba from mine today and it was excellent. I see this variety becoming popular in the future.

What a pretty fig. I am now extra excited that this is one of the last varieties I have coaxed into rooting. Thanks Gary for the beautiful pics. You could make a painting out of that one. Happy figging, Jodi
In the book the "The Meaning of Trees" it is said the fig regulates the heart and that the true essence of Figs is...food for the soul. Daisy's IBT cuttings will be available in January/February along with a few Lampeira Parda.
