First ripe main crop, so good, VBD this year has just been my favorite fig variety in terms of flavor.

First and only VBD breba, these were grafted the spring 2025. What a tasty fig!

I have two VDB I grafted last year, of the figs I've grafted only VBD has produced fruit the next year after grafting. Two breba it seems to be holding on

The fig has a flavor I would describe as berry and grape. I Really like this one
