To get something that early you will have to look at varieties with breba crops. Figs were early this year from am early summer in San Diego, but still first fig wasn't ripe till 8/1. I have seen some figs ripen in November, on a late variety, if we get a real warm week, but they never develop the sweetenss and flavor that they would have had if they ripened earlier, when they should have.

Here, in Europe, and with the best known varieties listed below, with any doubt, the winners are Madeleine des deux saisons and Brunswick (these varieties are practically identical):

(In yellow Breba crop, in green fall crop)

Axier, Madelien de deux saisons or (Madelien of 2 seasons) seems to be as early as brunswick, Can you discribe this fig? what color?
I wonder if it goes by any others names in the States.

Check out Figs For Fun, the site run by Pitangadiego. Plenty of info on Madeleine de deux saisons, including synonyms.....Elder

Axier, Je peux comprendre du français.

Here's what this article translates to (Excuse my french):

described for the first time in 1667 per merlet then by J.B. Of Quintinie which cultivated it with the castle of Versailes, under Louis XIV.
Tree of average strength, of 4 to 6 m diameter and 2.5 to 4 m height, of strong diameter, very resisting to cold. Brebas variety has large fruits gild. The fig weighs 100 to 120 G. The fig of autumn (The main crop), without collar, is initially round then is flattened at the end of the season by taking more sunk color, it is a little smaller, heavy of 70 to 80 Grams.
Seeds very few, texture fine. Very fine taste, its rather fine skin do not ensure a very good behaviour in very wet conditions: it has tendency to burst.

That is a beautiful looking fig. The only problem is that I have no idea where to get this anywhere in the States.

Any hints where to look?

Hi,

This is one useful post!
I can easily see which variety has Breba + main crop fruits
and one that has only main crop!

I have an Italian variety called SAN PEDRO it gets two crops the first in June and the second in September. Because I am in zone 7BI keep it in the green house in winter basically no dormancy. But in San Francisco you have no freezing winter.

To My experience,for your goal,Florea will have the earliest main crop,and Atreano,will make abundant Breba possible in June for you,and continue with main crop without any interruption till frost(possible trough December),ripening fruits.
Atreano will ripe fruits in cooler climates as San Francisco.
Atreano does not like over 95 temp.,in which case the fruits will not be as tasty, as when the Summer is cool.

I would say it again:Atreano is unique in having just as many breba as Desert King,and infinite more main crop,that will ripe till late Fall.
It seem to me ,Atreano,is the work of scientific selection,and it is known to have been selected ,by the Agriculture Department ,of Italy specifically for fresh fruit,Market.
Atreano is the most,capable to deliver good profits for grower,better than most other cultivars I have grown.
It is large fruited,tolerant to adverse climatic condition,and decent tasting to satisfy most people.

And it truly has 2 abundant crops Breba and main crop.
Most fig trees produce only a few fruits on one of the crop,and an abundant other crop.
EX
:Desert King has an abundant Breba crop,but insignificant second main crop.
Kadota:Makes a few Breba,and an abundant second main crop
