Description
Moscatel Preto: (syn. Bebera). Described and illustrated by Bobone (1932). Known as Moscatel Preto at Coimbra, and Bebera at Cacela and on the island of Madeira.
The tree produces two crops. Mello Leotte (1901), on the other hand, described Bebera as a variety which does not produce a first crop, and the second crop as requiring caprification.
Brebas oblique-pyriform, sometimes much elongated; neck thick; stalk short; color violet- Black ; pulp dark carmine, streaked with violet; flavor sweet and agreeable.
Second-crop figs pyriform, elongated specimens unusual in having the internal cavity narrowed at the base rather than rounded; stalk short; color green toward the stalk, violet on the body; surface smooth, puberulent; pulp carmine; texture fine; quality good.
Figaholics: Moscatel is a Portuguese fig which has grown slowly but now doing better. This fruit shown in this video was picked about a day early but was still moderately sweet and a combination of a berry and, perhaps, melon flavor. Fruit was very moist and chewy. In 2018 the fruit was a medium sized fig that was very sweet with mild to moderate berry flavor.
