Faja de Ovelha Main 2021

[Chosen328]

Got a rooted cutting from DaveL. This one really surprised me with how early it is and such a vigorous grower as well.

[Pdiscool]

What kind of description can you give on the flavor?

[SubmarinePete]

Did you root it this year?

[Chosen328]

I got it from DaveL and I think he rooted in November of 2020

[Chosen328]

Probably need eat a few more of them. But so far this what I taste sweet, berry-like acidic, soft skin, little to no seed crunch.

[SubmarinePete]

My first one just ripened. I also got it from DaveL Great taste for a first fig! Also--very tiny

[JMF75]

If it ripens in zone 7a than it's for me 😎.
I like how small it is. Nicely done!!

[SubmarinePete]

JMF75 Yeah that's two people ripening it pretty early. I also like that it is a small fig; it might be a winner! It was one of DaveL 's top recommendations to me. I think maybe he was on to something. Thanks Dave!!

[figs and tropicals]

Dave is awesome...

[Chosen328]

I have ripen 4 figs so far. They weigh between 10g-14g.

Here is another one. This one was very sweet. I am very impressed with this fig.

[SubmarinePete]

Yeah I’m 2 for 2 in terms of good figs from my new tree. This could end up being a surprise “winner” in 2021.

[Chosen328]

This one was super sweet. My wife said the sweetness of intense like syrup jam. I am very pleasantly surprised with it. Vigorous and productive.

[Chosen328]

Here is another one. This one was very sweet. Berry flavor with a hint of watermelon aftertaste

[Figs4All]

Awesome looking fig. Can't wait to try this variety. Thanks for posting.

[Nelson]

Thats a cool looking fig, Im familiar with Faja da Ovelha municipality personally but dont think I ever seen a fig like this while living in Madeira. Great find

[Fishninja]

Do you know if Faja De Ovelha has a breba crop?

[Sod]

I put mine in the greenhouse this year and I’m almost certain it wouldn’t have needed it. Small tree is loaded. I’ll up mine to a bigger pot this year and leave it out this winter.

[DaveL]

Thanks for all the love. Just want to give a shout out to Rui, longtime F4F and Ourfigs member, from whom I sourced this tree.

[HouFig]

I got mine from you as well...you're the man Dave! Much respect Sir

[Sod]

This was the most ripe one off my tree. Mine are much darker here. Maybe that has something to do with our lack of humidity.
