Are these late figs or bebas?

Hie all its April and we have winter starting June here in Australia. For those who have had brebas on your trees when do they start developing?  My pink Jerusalem fig tree had figs last year but fell off as it was way too young. since then it grew a fair bit and now i am seeing some figs developing now while my other figs have either finished fruiting or ripening. Here is an image below.

We are  in Australia so they are just late figs that wont ripe, fig trees do that if the weather is still warm similar to September October weather beginning of the fig season, and have good nutrients in the soil still.
This yellow ischia developed figs in January first year tree which is late but now mid April are still ripping had 24 figs on it. 20170416_091848s.jpg 

Yeah i  thought they might be late figs but was not sure. There is not much info on the pink Jerusalem fig variety unfortunately.  i'll remove them. Im hoping that my black genoa (1st year)and yellow excel (1.5yrs?)will ripen their figs they developed mid january.

They should have ripen by now, may be give it a bit more time.here is my pink Jerusalem.

Thanks for sharing what they look like. They look like they would taste amazing. What time of year do they start showing figs? 

I think was October November, these figs were ready mid to late February up to march depending how many you have on the tree.
If you dont mind me asking where did you get your pink Jerusalem? 

I got mine on ebay from a seller. They were selling calimyrna, deanna and clancy blue fig trees as well. What does your leaf pattern on your Pink Jerusalem look like?

I think its the same seller I got mine from. He is a friend of mine.

Is the seller called healthylife2u? by chance? Thats the seller i got the fig from

No mine came fron kausik , not sure where he got his from tho. Here is a leaf.

My leaf pattern is quite similar to yours. I guess we will find out if its truly a pink Jerusalem fig next season. Not many have it.
