A couple of my unknowns

Here are a couple of my unknowns that I picked today. Just wonder if anybody has any ideas to what they are? I'd bet they are an Italian variety.The leaf is from the greener fig. I forgot to take a picture of the dark figs leaf. They are similiar to the one pictured. Both figs are very sweet!

The green fig originally came from an uncovered inground tree.

Hi Art,
Too new to help but wanted to comment on your nice looking figs.  Looks like you have some gems.  I hope that you are able to get a proper identification from the more experienced members on this forum.
 
Is there is a story behind your figs and how you obtained them?  What is the flavor like?  Fig collecting of unknown varieties is almost as good as treasure hunting.

Doug,
 The dark fig was my first ever plant. Given to me by a now good friend. She is from Naples, Italy. Pretty funny i'm 37 and she is? Lets just say she was still in Italy during WWII. She buries that tree.
 The greenish fig was found while I was working. I would have swore it was gonna be a dark fig. Don't see many white figs in my area. The woman who owned it said it was there when she moved in. She didn't know much about it. It grows unprotected, in the middle of her yard.

 Thanks, Art

If anyone is interested. I have a few cuttings of the white fig I can send out.

You have a PM kubota1
