Yesterday, 7/20 I harvested my first fig of this year, a breba crop fig(only one on this plant). This was given to me as an unlabeled cutting in fall of 2013, a friend said it was from his collection and had lost its tag. I grew it out last year (and gave an extra plant of the same to another rookie fig grower), and this year it is a nice plant in a 4g SIP. It was started on the fig shuffle around 4/6 and almost immediately put out a single breba. It has another 8 or so main crop figs and I have started rubbing out new ones developing. This fig was outstanding, comparable in taste to the best main crop figs I tried last year at another grower's orchard including Adriatic(JH) and Preto. This far exceeded anything I was expecting from a breba and from this unknown. I have a PM sent to the friend to see if he can identify it from the pics. |

That looks absolutely delicious. Could it be DK? Those have been known to remove peoples' socks. |

DK's get more yellow with ripeness and the interior stays a light red pinkish hue. They do not get the darker bottom hue. |

This is a tree from my parent's property. It's 20ft tall and just loaded in July every year. |
