Here is the main crop REI. It was not as sweet as the breba fig I had early in the season but it was just as large. |

Is it just me, or does it look a lot like a Brown Turkey? |

The interior does. Reminds me of Black Spanish. The Exterior looks a lot like those BTs at UCD. Those at UCD were excellent. |

With a breba crop, it could possibly be Bifara, which resembles BT and BJ, but does have some breba crop. |

The cutting is from Encanto Farm. I ordered it in 2010. It is Rei 088. The data base says that it is suppose to be green so I always had questions about what it was. Does Brown Turkey grow very compact with small leaves? |

I guess I am in trouble. My Rei has not fruited yet, but sure didn't need another BT, and did not expect it to be one, based on the leaves. Definitely not like BT leaves that I have seen. So, this will get more interesting. |

Looks like a Black Jack that I used to have. Didn't work well in my location. Glad to see that you enjoyed it! |

Does the leaf pictured look like the leaves on your fig? Are brown Turkey brebas know to have the fig nectar dripping from the eye when ripe?because I thought the breba from this tree was very good.

I have a Black Jack here too that was mislabled. Black Jack looks great here but has no taste. Balck Jack is darker and rounder. This fig had a very nice breba fig too this year. |
