  • Fig prospecting - brebas

    Bombarral region - near the train station:

    A few trees near the rails but no brebas. Then, inside an abandoned building, a huge tree, full of figs. Quite big figs so early in the season (15 days ago). Although they are already with leaves i am trying to root some cuttings.
    Below a few photos of the tree and the still immature figs cut open (clearly it's not a caprifig)

    Óbidos region:

    Last year i have spotted a tree near the road, full of brebas. Unusually big in early April. In the sun they looked almost black from a distance.
    This spring the owner gave the tree a heavy pruning, reducing its height more than half and abandoned the branches near the road. Although i only noticed it several days later, i took some cuttings that are already rooting. I even left a fig in one cutting so i could compare their development.

    The tree is again full of brebas. I approached it to take some pictures. Nearby they are green, many with a few black markings. The figs seem different from the tree in Bombarral (shorter stalks). Will take some more pictures in a few weeks to see how the figs develop.
