Fig Tree Brebas (early fig buds). 4.17.19

Brunswick Fig Brebas.  4.17.19
 Here are the brebas on most of my fig tree collection.  For some varieties, they will likely all fall off, forming new main crop figs to ripen later.

Of those that have brebas which almost always fall off - probably 95% to 100% fall off  - are Brunswick and Hardy Chicago.  On the other hand, King is an entirely breba variety, so almost all should ripen.  Lattarula does both. 
I usually get a few brebas on Carini and Petite negri but it depends on the year.  Celeste is too young, I have not had ripe figs at all from that 3 foot tall tree yet.

I'm not sure about LSU Tiger or Sicilian.  I need to pay more attention this year.

  1. Hi. Are brebas a bad thing on the fig tree to be sprouting with all the new growth starting? Does it take away from eventual better fruit production later in summer? Thanks

    1. I don't thing the brebas hurt anything. If the tree can't support them, they usually fall off. I don't think they hurt main crop.
