Interesting types ...for hanging culture with water restrictions etc.

It's not so much that they ripen early, but you can pick them at first blush and they ripen slowly and keep very long, if not blemished.
For earliness and quicker ripening, the variety Ramallet des Figural was good, but mine weren't blemish-free, so didn't keep long.
Of the others, Flor de Artana was the earliest for me. Ibiza Blanca and Ramallet San Llorens might be earlier but my seedlings had so many problems that they were planted out a month late. These 3 had unblemished fruit.
My mother each have Flor de Artana hanging in our basements; they're taking a long time to ripen.
