Longue D'Aout Breba

[CaricaChris]

Really impressed with LdA this year. I think this is one of the must-haves for northeast growers. Just look at the size of these monsters! The pics don't really do them justice. Taste was excellent for a breba. Better than many main crop I've had and really looking forward to its main crop now. Highly recommend this one for new growers.

That’s just ridiculous!
Well done!

How was the texture?

[CaricaChris]

Thanks! It had a firm bite. Meaty but with a nice amount of syrup within it. Not cakey like CDDs.

That thing is such a monster!

I have one YAY !
Was it the only breba on that tree ?

[CaricaChris]

No, those are two different figs pictured! There are about a half dozen more that'll be ready soon Not bad for a tree that was only about 18 inches tall.

Mine was water logged from all the rain we have had. Flavor was good but diluted.

This one is in-ground. I've noticed that once they mature a bit, split prone varieties in the ground have less of a tendency to split compared to when in pots. Hope yours perform a bit better.

Looks great Chris!

Those are enormous!! Thanks for sharing. How old is your tree?

[CaricaChris]

I'll post a picture of the giant one still hanging on the tree. It's still growing! Hopefully no animals get to it first.

I planted this one in the ground last spring. The person I received it from had it for at least 2 seasons, but not exactly sure how old. My guess is 4 years total, give or take.

That is a Breba to write home about!

Long Stout maybe !! nice!

Nice LdA breba. I find that allowing these giants to ripen real well really brings out the flavor of this fig. The taste of the main crop is better IMO.
