Not alot on this site about this one. Is this your first year with it? Does it handle rain very well? Does it have any splitting problems? What I know of it is that it is Portuguese and produces two crops. Thanks for the photo and any information or observations you might be able to pass on concerning this variety.

This is the third year for this fig tree.  I started it from a cutting.  It is a very slow grower and small compact tree.  It has this peculiar growing habit where the branches grow almost horizontal or perpendicular to the main trunk.  I made a video of the breba fig which I thought tasted great.  I think the breba crop is suppose to be larger than the main crop.  This will be my first time sampling the main crop.
