| Brunswick Fig Tree with Brebas. 5.4.18 |
The fig trees are doing great this year. With a mild winter, and early spring, those with breba crops have lots of growing fruits. The trees that look the most promising this year for big early crop: Brunswick, Carini, Lattarula, and Desert King. It's interesting, since Brunswick has not usually done that well. But it's a big, sweet, delicious fig when it does. There is also a small tree that I started from a bonus cutting a number of years ago, "Sicilian White", with some brebas.
Trees that, earlier, had a lot of brebas that fell off: Atreano (one remains, which will be the first taste if it matures), Smith, Hardy Chicago.
Most of the new growth on the fig trees, is past the 5-leaf stage. That's when I tip the new growth to encourage a main crop. I've been doing that on the daily tree inspections.
