"Bajtar Ta' San Gwann" (G with a dot) is the Maltese name for one breba-fig
very popular in Malta; loosely translated as "St. John's Breba".
Its main crop is known as "Tin Ta' San Gwann" (St. John's Fig).
There are two variants, one dark and one light; both being of the San Pedro type.
I know that it is a very good fig, but since the main crop requires caprification,
it may be best suited for California (b/c fig-wasp) and the PNW (b/c breba).
This is NOT the same fig as St. John (Gillette)!
Here is what J. Borg had to say in his olde 1922 book

12. The ST. JOHN'S FIG (M=tin tal baitar, tin ta San Giuan.)
The tree is vigorous and grows to a large
size ; the leaves are broad and well-lobed. This variety
produces regularly two crops. The early crop, (M =baitar
ta San Giuan ; Italian =fioroni) usually very abundant,
comes out along with the foliage and matures in May-
July. These early figs are very large, short-stalked,
top-shaped, greenish brown without any netting. The
flesh is of a light pink colour, watery, melting and sugary
and of good flavour. The main crop is equally abundant,
but the fruits are very flattened and very short-stalked,
and are valuable only for drying. The early figs are not
caprificated, but the main crop cannot do without this
operation. The St. John's fig is very largely planted,
being perhaps our most common type of fig-tree, the
early figs being much appreciated by all classes of the
people. A sub-variety exists producing figs, of both
crops, of a greenish white colour, but in other respects
is identical with the type.
