Samoa Sunshine Breba

[Harborseal]

Mildly sweet with a 'fresh' taste. Not strongly flavored but not bad at all.

Bob, I think you should have waited one more day

[Harborseal]

I would have waited another 2 weeks but it fell off as a butterfly flapped its wings in Africa.

Harborseal if you are out there does this fig produce worthwhile main crop too? Im sure curious! Hope to have 1 or 2 Samoa Sunshine's live to fruit & looking forward to samoan sized treats of sunshine

Anyone else randomly have this fig or any knowledge other than it came from Samoa St. That alone toook a long hard Google

I just rooted two sticks might get one to fruit this winter in my grow room

Ive tried 2 rounds of these. Round 1 had 1 take & took quite a while - presumed DOA based on color & overall inactivity. Round 2 outside is looking much more successful with favorable weather to help. Looking promising 1 will survive if not 2 or 3. Might adopt your inside lighting strategy to help things finish this season if there's stragglers.

I love that color combo right now!
Any idea what size they are supposed to be?

[jessup42]

Supposed to be Large. Heres a link where jon @ encanto lists it as a top 10 overlooked variety & describes it briefly.

Didn't Jon discover this one? I bought cuttings from him a long time ago. Sadly I have traded/given away all of them by now.
