| Dauphine breba figs have a nice flavor to them. This variety is very prolific. I'm looking forward to the main crop. |

| Beautiful pictures, Leon. Thanks for posting them. I had seen a description that said that Dauphine's "branches fall to the ground". And it sounded as if Dauphine might be a good candidate for identification of the Weeping Fig. Your post has settled that question. I'll be watching Aldo/Corleone side by side with the Weeping Fig this season. At this point I still think they are very similar - but different figs. |

| I had a mature UCD Dauphine that never gave me a single fig! It could have been my fault; I lost it, but still, I do not want it baaack. My understanding is that the UCD Dauphine is of the I also heard that there are 2 different Dauphine figs. |

| This Dauphine originates from Baud. I'll let you know what happens regarding the main crop. Looks like several more brebas will be ripening over the next few days. |

| The other one is called "Violet Dauphine" which is totally different from "Dauphine". The Violet Dauphine is a Common fig. The Dauphine is of the San Pedro type. There is a discussion going on right now about the two |
