And they keep on coming...
You're really in fig heaven. How do you find all those wonderful fig varieties, Francisco? 160 grams for a main crop in that Portuguese "Brown Turkey"? Wow! I'm with Eli, the wasps must have helped.
They probably wouldn't have reached or even approached that weight over here.

And Violeta looks wonderfully juicy as usual. I hope i can taste them next year.

Wow the Violetta is very impressive! 
Did it get help from the wasp or does it always look this amazing?

Thanks, Francisco.

You are right. Based on the comments about the variety we read, i always thought it was one to ignore, mainly because of lack of flavor (hollow dry interiors or watery melon flavor at best).
One of the most uninteresting figs to own according to most users although it appears that are some strains that are worth while (http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/if-you-give-brown-turkey-a-bad-name-check-this-7802531?pid=1289941066)
Maybe the strain you have there it's also a bit different for the best (and quite prolific as we see) or it's the good growing conditions it has, as you say. It sure would be interesting to test it over here and compare.
And with such a huge fig the interiors should be drier as it happens sometimes with other varieties that have big figs but those are simply perfect.
I always thought that the wasps where mandatory to have such juicy interiors but those unpollinated Violeta prove that i had the wrong idea.

Zidi is a Smyrna fig,  (caducous type) . It needs to grow in the correct environment as well as the services of the fig wasp for mandatory pollination.
Like most of the Smyrna types it  is very much flavored, sweet and crunchy with a high content of full seeds. Dried, it makes an excellent fruit to be consumed during the winter months.

 

 

Those sort of darker stains over the skin are typical of this variety .

        Мой первый зрелый инжир из черенков, полученных из Португалии в 2013 г. Вес 35-40 граммов. Недоумение и разочарование.

Amazing how all those figs look perfectly ripened throughout. Fig heaven!

How do you get the birds and other hungry critters to leave all those gorgeous figs for you?

Hey,Lampo. You do not notice my photos and a message for what reason? No comments are going to be?

Francisco: That Zidi is pretty! And, a great tasting fig also! Yup, fig Heaven for sure! Do you sell any of your harvest?

Vladis, Brebera Branca looks amazing!

Smyfigs,1. FIG weight is very small. 2. Painting Figure painting is very different from FIG Portugal.

Wow, these are photos of some real knockout figs you guys are posting here. Thanks
