Tasting the Bathenjani Fig Breba 8/8/18

I originally got cuttings of this variety back in Sept 2015. This figs origin is from Israel. Picked 8/8/18

The fruit on the originally post looked much bigger and tastier. I'm hoping htere's a major difference between the breba and the main crop.

It's been 3yrs and it's finally given me 1 itty bity breba.

Weighed in at 7grams. It's one of the smallest for sure.


Tight eye on this fig which means there's less chance of spoiling.

 

I had higher expectations for this fig, since the original posters fig looked like this. 

Anyhow here's the rating on the single breba of Bathenjani

Time for the 2017 Fig Breba Report

Part of the reason why I collect figs, besides being a class 3 fig hoarder, is to trial the many different varieties here in the PNW. Because of our short season, we have to mainly grow for brebas. So I get excited to see brebas growing on my fig trees.

However with a greenhouse I get to extend my season with much more rare main crop figs.
