Ischia Black AD Breba

[Kid Fig]

First time trying an Ischia Bkack AD breba and it's pretty good.

By the looks of it I should've waited another day but was pleased with it.

It had a slight figgy flavor (it needed another day) and actually tasted like a honey fig but with some plum tones as well as hints of berry and was above moderately sweet.

Don't know if the first picture captures the wine red speckles on the dark skin but it looks pretty exotic (which I like).

Ischia Black AD gets a

Last pic (just added) shows the wine specks a little better.

I'm surprised on how the color turned out - wasn't expecting a red wine color at all.

Got one more that's a day behind this one so that means Wednesday it gets picked!

Wow! That looks awesome! One of my favorite varieties, but I've never had a breba on my tree. Now I feel like I'm missing out

Is yours inground? I wasn't aware that IBAD produced brebas when I got the variety but so glad it does!

I pluck most of my breba off because they.... well, they suck here. They're bland and just meh! Yours look like real figs.

Great! Now I have breba envy!

Lol - hopefully RS brebas do good out there - virtually the same quality as the main.

I’m not sure if mine is AD or not. Was just sold to me as ischia Black, but I’m patiently waiting for the Breba too.

No, mine is in a pot. But it still produces very well. The main crop, that is. Mine has never even shown any breba figlets. Is your inground?

Bordeaux make the best breba! Jason Ischia Black or AD black ischia was rumored to be Negretta, but regardless, they're all Bordeaux types therefore all good. Not many bad Bordeauxs out there!
