Is it a hivernenca type fig? It's very productive for me. Good vigor, very healthy.

I have a first year tree that’s pretty vigorous with figs on it. Hoping to try them this season.

Here's the first fig from a first year tree. Pretty tasty for a first fig

That looks great, how early was it for you? If you dont mind me asking what zone are you in and did you give it a head start?
I have one thats over 6ft tall that started from a cutting in February. Leaves are twice as big as my hand. Very vigorous grower so far.

I’m getting an airlayer sent to me from Bill that I’m super excited for.

I’m excited for this one. My tree has some fruit so I’m hopeful.

Im sorry to come back to this question again.
Just to clarify, when you say you started in winter you mean the cutting was started in winter or the tree got a head start in winter?
Also this is the main crop and not breba right?

Cuttings were started this winter. Breba or main , that's a good question.

Thank you. Carlos Riviera just posted a picture of San Mateo breba. He says best fig of the season.

Everyone of Carlos’s figs looks amazing no matter what.

That's very true. His Castagnat variety look amazing too, looks like a very good honey fig. I failed rooting it last year, I have to try again this winter.

There's a Sant Mateu on Figbid going off in a couple hours, wonder if it will be the new $1000 tree?

Maybe. Seems like a lot of trees are going high this year.
