I live in the Pacific NW (Seattle area), and one of my neighbors knows I am into figs and tells me about a friend of hers who has a large, old fig tree about 5 minutes from where I live.  Since our weather is cool and not conducive to many of the fig varieties I'd like to grow, I'm always looking or figs that do well here.  I went over to the woman's house to look at the fig.  The tree is about 30 years old and was started from a cutting that the woman's husband got from a tree growing on Whidbey Island, one of the large islands in Puget Sound less than 2 miles off the coast here.  The woman is not a gardener and her husband died several years ago, so I couldn't get any more info on the fig...even what the ripe fruit looked like.  The tree I saw was bush-like, but at least 20' high and with multiple trunks.  Here are the pictures I took.  Anyone care to hazard a guess as to variety?

Nice tree, looks like mission :-)

Jennifer-
  I'm not great at identifying, but I've got a Mission and the leaf form is different.  Someone in my area who is knowledgeable about figs said it was Gillette based on the leaf form, and I have to agree it looks like a very close match.

Gillette is my opinion

Leaf looks just like my Gillette .

I hear that Gillette's a great variety.  Mine are to young to confirm this but it sounds like a great one to get cuttings from.

Thanks, everyone, for the input...I think it's safe to declare that it's Gillette!

I'll post pictures of the mature fruit later this year.  The best part is that the woman who let me take the cuttings doesn't bother to harvest the figs anymore, so she told me to take all I wanted.

It is a good looking tree.  Looking forward for the mature fruit picture later this year.
