Hm...maybe I will leave mine alone this off season, I possibly prune too much every year.
Good to know though, thanks.

I pretty much prune every tree. But I do leave a bit of main scaffold and some times a little secondary scaffold. This tree has 7 more Breba on it. So a total of 8.

Last of the RDS Brebas and one more Exquisito Breba.

They look delicious. How long until main crop starts to ripen on your earlier varieties? Are you noticing any delay this year due to a cooler May?

Main crop usually Arrives at the end of July for me. Some of the trees were about a week behind on forming main crop. So we will see!

7/13/25 Exquisito Breba , the eye appears open, but it’s fairly tight as you can see from the cross section, there wasn’t any ants left inside. When I picked this, there was a swarm of sugar ants near the eye which I promptly drowned in water. I could smell the sweet aroma when I took it inside. Very sweet and tasted like main crop.

Last of my Exquisito Breba.
Exquisitely juicy!

Wow that's awesome, I am going to prune mine a bit less this season and see if I can get in on that scrumptiousness. lol

@JC Figgy all your fig fruits look amazing to me. How I wish I could bury my face in a few of your delicious looking figs...

7/15/25 First Ischia Black Breba. They actually started ripening early July and the squirrels were snatching them up before they were even close to ripe. I may have overwatered this one in my hot and steamy greenhouse. Picked it early, since it was starting to crack open.
