I've had 2 different trees for 3 yrs now and only 1 has produced brebas for me. It looked very promising this yr. I had a nice cluster of figs on it this year.
It's also being grown in the greenhouse. However after a hot day I watered it deeply and the biggest breba split pretty badly. This thing has a pretty big eye and thin skin which = bad splitter.
Well since this was the closest thing I've had to a ripe fig, I tasted a little bit of the good flesh and it was quite tasty!
I hope the rest holds on.
This is disappointing to hear. I am growing it in Seattle too. Mine are too small to fruit this season. I will know more next year.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it would be much more stable if planted in ground where moisture levels wouldn't fluctuate as quickly.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree
DeleteI got a 1 FT tall tiny GR At May, it took me 11 hours to get it, Now, It has 2 figs and looks like main crop, Will it ripen? Do U have main crop on your tree?
ReplyDeleteGR is a San Pedro type it will only ripen the breba like the DK.
DeleteI look carefully on them, It seems that one of them may be breba and one of them is main crop, I will report back my result. tree is from same tree as successful web story of PNW, I have been trying Olympian fig tree for 2 years, It may come from wrong source, tree is not as good as web story so far, It has 1 more year to go before I remove it.
