This has been one of my favorite figs each year. The breba and the main are awesome! It's an unknown from Sicily. It's very similar to Vasilika Sika BC or Stella, which I have both. Neither of those had any breba and the plants are giant. The picture doesn't do it justice, it's a lot bigger than that tennis ball.

Looks amazing Art!
I only had one breba on one tree this year, and I accidentally knocked it off doing the spring shuffle.Scott - Colorado Springs, CO - Zone 4/5 (Depending on the year) - Elevation 6266ft

Thanks Scott. That fig was so heavy that I accidentally knocked it off and it almost splattered. The back side of that fig wasn't so pretty.Art

Looks tremendous. Curious that it ripened and the seemingly related didn't though I've seen that happen among Mt Etna strains. If looks could taste looks like a strawberry flavor.Tony WV 6b

Amazing how similar those varieties ( Stella, Vasilika, Dalmatie, SIB and Brunswick)look up until the fruit ripens. Then I think there are a couple of dark varieties also similar to those like Snake island and Paradiso but I don't know if they produce a Breba crop.You may only view thumbnails in this gallery.

Great looking fig Art. SIB is on my list of "Someday" figs. I don't have the Stella or VS either, I just remember reading about it in an article maybe from the Times that someone posted on F4F or maybe I found it in a search. Anywho, sounded good.
I take it that freeze that hit after you put out all your figs didn't turn out too bad? You're getting a good deal of figs, congrats on that!
Calvin, Wish list is to finish working on the new house, someday.
Bored? Grab a rake, paint roller, or a cordless drill and come over!
