Seeing posts about the excitement of brebas starting to show up, has me wondering which varieties bless you with your favorite breba crop over the years???
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.

Over the last 3 years, it was my Granthams Royal. But last season was Bellone. Excellent tasting. Unfortunately this variant is not known for its brebas

Good topic, Jodi! I have a few brebas coming from gifted trees thanks to a very generous member (thanks, Greenfig!) but I can't give any detail about taste. I will post an update when they ripen.

Sicilian Black JR knocked my socks off this summer with the quality and huge number of brebas. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/sicilian-black-jr-unk-7517371?pid=1288066417

This is great I hadn't heard of this variety. Where did it come from to you?

I've currently got Alma, Nero600, and LSU purple sporting brebas. The LSU purple drops them every year though. The others...we'll find out. Couldn't comment on taste...they're all 2nd year plants. I've been debating if it would be smarter for me to pull them off and go for main crop instead.
more space to put in figs.
