Jesse, This is a Common variety, it does not require caprification.

Francisco

Florea and Rd.Bx the same time.

Guided by the title of this thread I'm only going to count the figs I have growing in-ground and that were in-ground during the winter of 2016-17...
Scott's Black - dropped all its figs but putting out lots of growth; 2nd full season
Briguglio - did not set any figs; 3rd full season
Battaglia Green - set a good crop but dropped all but one; it is holding on but not ripe yet; 4th full season (or 5th?)
Nero 600m - has a good crop and started ripening about 10 days ago (wins prize for first; 3rd full season)
Zingarella (RW) - has a good crop but none ripe yet; 4th full season
Socorro Black - dropped all but one fig but its not ripe yet; 4th full season
Ital-258 - has a good crop but not ripe yet (yeah, probably foolish to have this one in-ground but I thought I'd try it); 2nd full season
Ponte Tresa - had a decent crop but dropped every one; 2nd full season
De La Reina - set one fig but it is not ripe yet; 2nd full season
Kathleen's Black - set no figs...maybe next year (Chicago Cubs of figs); 2nd full season 
Sicilian Red - has a very nice crop set but none ripe yet; 3rd full season
Vista - has a very nice crop set and started ripening a couple days after Nero 600m; 3rd full season
Vasilika Sika (Dalmatie type from Belleclare) - set no figs this year even though it had almost no winter die-back; 5th full season

Lots of Celeste!!!!

MBVS about 2 weeks ago.

EDIT: I have an Italian Unknown that one is just starting to ripen (noticed yesterday).

It seems that some of the posts on this thread refer to figs ripening in containers.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Judging by the title, I think Paully only wanted to hear about in-ground figs and that is where my main interest lies as well.

yes, please. ripening times of inground trees gives me data i need.
trees in pots throw the whole thing off.

Your right, my bad. Post deleted.

F L O R E A ~ !

the first week of june

you know, i got have a dozen figs from my  dominick in mid august. also got one 
black triana, as i reported..
but now, i won't get another ripe fig for weeks.
i wonder if i made a mistake n they were brebas.
i really don't expect brebas because i get winter die back right thru my wrapping.
i'm confused.
if there is a month's seperation between ripe figs, does that sound like brebas?

Panfishman - Florea ripens 1st week of June in zone 6 from an in-ground tree that spent the winter in-ground?  Even if you are talking about breba I'm skeptical to say the least.  Please tell us more...
