Panache breba

The descriptions for this variety say it does not produce breba.  I didn't pay that close attention last year but am pretty sure I had quite a few breba.  I pruned fairly heavy this year and some breba dropped off, but this one is developing fine.

Such a beautiful fig!  Hope the brebas turn out good for you.

Don't fall off,  Don't fall off, please don't fall off

Thanks. I don't think any more breba will fall off at my location now, they already dropped a few weeks ago.  It's like summer here already.

I have a couple brebas at each growing point, they aren't sizing up so I think it's too cold for them to develop, last year I had none.

I have a tiger fig tree that I planted last November here in Arizona. I have about 8 figs that are marble sized. Would this be considered a breba crop?

Take a look at where the figs are growing from.  If they are from the branch that grew last year it is breba and if it's growing on the growth that has started this spring they are main crop.  My photo shows both.  I don't know what part of Arizona you are located but would imagine that main crop should be marble size in most areas there or larger.

wow!!! is Panache produce Breba???i think Panache is Unifera. I was wrong about this. x_x"

I believe in most locations Panache does not produce breba.  I am curious as to why.

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to report I see breba here in zone 5b/6a. Chances are it will fall off. I could bring it in. I expose my figs to 35F at this time of year. If temp drops below 35, I put them back in the garage. Grown in a container. I might in the future, grow for breba to get fully ripe figs in this location. I just wanted the tree because it is so pretty! I grow a lot of sub tropical trees, not just figs. Some are non fruiting. In recent years I decided to sell some off.

I see I didn't update this thread on the sad day that this breba fruit fell off without ripening.  It got quite a bit larger than that but still was not close to being ripe when it fell off.

Mine also got large breba crop and all fell off last year before getting ripe too at the start of the summer time here at the central coast of California. I was surprised to see so many of them that set on a fourth year tree.

Harvey and others reported that rather large Panache breba fruit  dropped unripe. In seedless fruits - a Giberlin spray helps. In addition there is a thumb rule - that Breba plants should not be fertigated or allowed to shoot up the growth rate with the main season fruitlets  until June- because this will produce high concentration of plant hormones that will drop all fruits below.

I am not an expert on fig hormones. But Giberlin sprays, bending branches if possible, halting fertigation on the expense of the main season crop, and tipping growth points on the new groqth may help the Brebas - stay on.
