A brebber (or more commonly breba in Spanish, and sometimes as taqsh) [1] is a fig that develops on a common fig tree in the spring on the previous year's shoot growth. [2] In contrast, the main fig crop develops on the current year's shoot growth and ripens in late summer or fall.
Intermediate (or San Pedro) figs set an unpollinated breba crop but need pollination for the later main crop. Examples are Lampeira, King, and San Pedro. There are dozens of fig cultivars, including main and breba cropping varieties, and an edible caprifig (the Croisic). Varieties are often local, found in a single region of one country. [34] [36]
The Mission fig is a high quality fig variety. It produces both a breba and main crop, and is considered an everbearing variety when planted in the right climate. The breba crop is large. The main crop is medium-sized. It is a dark skinned fig with a strawberry colored interior. The skin of the fruit often cracks when it is ripe.
Figs produce fruit on both old wood, which grew during the previous growing season (breba crop), and new wood that will grow during the current season (main crop).

Ficus (/ ˈ f aɪ k ə s / [2] or / ˈ f iː k ə s / [3] [4]) is a genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the family Moraceae.Collectively known as fig trees or figs, they are native throughout the tropics with a few species extending into the semi-warm temperate zone.
The Moraceae—often called the mulberry family or fig family—are a family of flowering plants comprising about 38 genera and over 1100 species. [3] Most are widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, less so in temperate climates; however, their distribution is cosmopolitan overall.
As in "The first of the two is small and is called breba; the breba figs are olynths". Justinleif 23:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC) [ reply ] Yeah, it seems to refer to the first-crop (small) fruits whereas breba appears to be the name of the crop as a whole.
