This tree lost its tag, but came from UC Davis. I am pretty sure it is Barnisotte and was really impressed with the size and taste. It has ripened about a dozen figs already but many disappeared, one was deformed, a couple were picked too soon, and raccoons did a number on a few too. I would like to confirm its identity because I am quite proud of this one. It also is unique because new growth and leaf stems have a brownish shade, as opposed to the red I see on many varieties. It seems to be suitable for zones 7 and up, if you have patience and a sheltered spot with sun all day long. The tree is 5+ years old, had a rough start but suffered no winter damage since planting out 2 years ago. I pruned and mulched heavily in winter. Thanks for looking.

good taste?

Here is the info on my UC Davis Barnissotte that I posted earlier

Great taste. Better at the bottom though.

Thanks Tom, seeing your video earlier helped me to get an idea of what I had here. The shiny leaves are another thing that stand out to me.

Brent,yours does not look like my Barnissotte.Tom,on his video,got the real one.     Marius

Nice photos.

From what I can see the leaves look like Barnissotte.  Your tree is older so it might be a case of older tree and different environment.  The tree that gave me the ripe fig was very root bound.  The other tree still has green figs.

The color of the inside and outside is the same, although yours is much more ripened. You said it reminded you of HC, mine reminded me of Sal's (have not tried HC) but a little less sweet, not much.

I could be wrong, I am keeping the tree all the same because I love it ; ). All comments are appreciated.
