They can get a fine circular cracking pattern on the skin in just the right conditions, whenever I see that I get really, really excited

Brebas from Longue D’Aout are round. That’s a main crop fig.

No, I respectfully disagree.
Brebas from LdA are very elongated. This is a Niagara Black breba from 2017(most growers report this ‘found’ variety is LdA, mine is identical to my LdA):

I’ll admit I’m 550 posts behind, but I thought I’d post this here.
This is my first White Triana.
mildly to mid sweet and very pleasant. To date I’ve only tried Marseilles Black VS.

The following are outside in cloudy skies:
I have no idea the authenticity as I purchased from a lady on eBay and paid less than 5 bucks for three cuttings and not much for shipping.
If something looks off, thanks in advance for letting me know.

Not yet ripe but beautiful Rigato Del Salento, a 2 crop variegated fig.
This one was grafted only in May and put out 12 figs. I removed all but 6.

Those look much more like Celeste to me. Really nice all the same. Did the tree die back last winter?
No, the Polar Vortex of 2014 did killed her to the ground. She took a while to get going in 2015 but she regrew as a open center.

I’d graft it over with VdB.

Not all of it! Would be at least a month later to start ripening.
If I could only grow Mission I wouldn’t grow it.

That is a Celeste, or maybe LSU Tiger which was sold by Lowes on the East coast around the time it was planted. Mission would not be ripening yet either.

I was at a customer’s house today in Bellevue,WA and saw this tree,which was planted by the previous owner.
The height is about 15-20 feet.Does the fruit look like Brown Turkey?They are sweet,but not super great flavor. Brady

Yes, it is definitely a brown turkey. It might be an English Brown Turkey rather than California Brown Turkey (San Piero). These are much tastier than the California BT in our climate when they are harvested dead ripe.

It looks like Osbourne Prolific to me, I don’t grow it so it’s just a guess. My EBT usually has a pink to amber center and rough leaves, not glossy like that, the puckered eye looks the same though.
