Red Lebanese Bekaa Valley Main 2021

What a great variety, delicious and beautiful.

I picked a few today but forgot to take pictures, I remembered after eating them.

What's special about it, is that it ripens figs in around 60 days if I remember correctly.

It broke bud late, and figlets started to show up in June, that was late for some reason, and I consider this late because I had first Black Madeira main fruit few days ago.

I highly recommend this for short season.

Taste was good, better than Black Bethlehem, Salem Syrian Dark and MBVS so far.

I will add fruit pics when I pick more tomorrow or day after.

Awesome, been looking for this. Can you share where you got it? Had a cutting but it didn’t make it 😰

[MJFIGS]

Mine was from Plant-creator.

Look on figbid, or post in trading section, this one is not that hard to find. I might have extra rooted one next season, I root these for mostly friends and family as its a good variety in our climate and most of the time will produce in its first year, so it gets people really excited.

Thanks for the bowling pin for size comparison

Welcome 😁

Nice! My second leaf RLBV didn’t grow much this year but a basal sprout grew to the same height as the main stem. Both stems have about 5 figs and I just set an AL on the sprout. Figs should all ripen before the AL is ready 👍🏼.

One of the best you can get for the cost.

Strange, my RLBV also had a really late start this year. Last year it was early for an Etna, this year took quite a while to set fruit. Now going strong though, and I’m confident I’ll get to eat a fair few.

I did the same thing as you, MJ. I picked my first two RLBV yesterday and ate them without taking any photos. They were both excellent from this second leaf little tree started from a cutting a year ago. There are 6 more!
