The Ultimate Fig Breba List

Here in the Pacfic Northwest Zone 7B. Our short season means not all figs will ripen a main crop (outside of a greenhouse). Which means that we have to focus on figs that have brebas, which is why the Desert King has been so important as a staple here.

What is a Breba?
a fig of the first crop ripening on the old wood 

The differences between Breba and Main crops can look and taste like two very different figs. Brebas are generally larger, sometimes more elongated, more watery from the spring rains and not as sweet as main crops.

However with San Pedro type figs like the Desert King the main crop is not as good as the Brebas since the main crop requires pollination to mature.

Take for example the Gene's Vashon on the left is the Breba and the right is the main crop.
