Can someone identify this fig?

18 years ago

While I as on vacation in Baja, California last March I obtain some cuttings from a fig tree that I found in a remote village. The fig in this picture is the first Breba from the cutting. I weighed the fig and it was 45 grams. It was not a very good tasting fig, but this is a breba and the tree's first fig. The tree has already put on several figs on this years wood. I hope they will taste better than the breba. Hopefully someone will be able to identify this fig.

Hello Vern
If eventually no one identify it correctly, you can start calling it 'guava fig' because that is how it looks (but then gorgi may get upset with me for suggesting to add confusion to the fig names).

None has to do with this fig ID, I have no clue what it is but...

You can call me Ray, or Jim or (than again, maybe Ray)...

How about (translated) "Sweet George"?!
NO KIDDING, I have a rooting of such a fig... I did not
name-it or have anything to do with that.
No eye-rolling please!

Also reminds me of the "Vern's Brown Turkey" fig name.
