I agree it doesnt look like a brown turkey fig. It looks similiar to an italian purple fig. As for sweetness are you sure you didnt pick it a little early? My figs always looks a bit shirveled when they are at their greatest.

Loslunasfarms, I may have picked it a little early. It had drooped, but was not shirveled. I will try and be a little more patient on the next one.

Gosh, it is really hard to try to not pick early. I had my adriatic fig that finally gave me a good breba. What a difference it made waiting till the skin felt flabby and was a little shriveled... CAN YOU IMAGINE TRYING TO SPLIT ONE BREBA BETWEEN THREE KIDS?? It was painful.

The difference in taste of waiting for the flabby and slight shrivels in the skin was pretty big!

"I think it is a breba, because this tree produced a couple if figs last fall that did not have time to rippen"

Are you saying that the unripen figs from last yr finshed growing this yr?

Fortisi, the fall figs ended up falling off after the tree went dormant last winter.

I agree with loslunasfarms: it looks like a Italian purple fig. I have one and the leave correspondents but no fruit yet, so i cannot say anything about that.

Vern,
How did your tree do last year? did you get good main crop?
