From a scion given by an old friend and rooted on the spring of 2013.
A strong and fast grower.

The parent tree was born over 20 years ago from  bird droppings and among
many other old figs in his father's place.
For ID and convenience it was called LTK and it's a Smyrna type.

It is a very sweet and flavored fruit, with a genuine amber pulp and is the crunchiest fig I have ever tasted -  (bad news for the seedless lovers!)
A yummy fruit when eaten fresh, it makes a divine dry fig comparable with the best world varieties

dark bluish skin, being a rather large fruit on its parent tree.

The fig shape, contours and the way it grows on the fig branches remembers Abebereira (Bebera Preta).

Francisco, you really should work for the Portuguese Tourism Agency. Every time you post, I find myself wanting to book a flight, and come visit you, your lovely country, and those incredible figs. Thank you!

Looks great!

Francisco: Very tasty figs and nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

Best,
Tam

Thank you all for your comments.

One of the best ever looking fig that I have ever seen.

Norhayati

Almost all (selected &) cultivated ficus carica figs were first born as 'wild'.
A very few were bred by us humans (e.g., ConAdria).

Thank you Norhayati  and Gorgi for your nice and interesting comments

Francisco

nice pictures,a beautiful fig, this is the first time i see a fig with such a brown tasty flesh.
here i would share with you a very favored fig in my country called Sbayi, the fruits are very larg
and its a self polination fig.

birds compete with us on the ripen fruits ! so i have to pick them a bit early before they fully mature :(

Francisco,

Have you tried comparing it to Albacor?

First time I hear about albacor fig, do you have a picture ?

That looks like caramel inside, very tasty!  Thanks for sharing with us this gem.

Here are some close ones from Pons book. IMO
Only one is one of the few Albacor strains.

Let me know what you think, Francisco.

Thank you fellows for comment  and inquiring .

kassoum, Very nice your Sbayi fig. You are right we have to be fully alert as the birds are all over and know when the fruit tastes best.
In fig terminology LTK pulp color is 'amber' .

Rafed,

I have not compared as they are far apart. The strain of Albacor you show is a small black  parthenocarpic fig with light pink pulp (approx 30 grams) as per Pons notes.
LTK is a large Smyrna, twice as big, heavy and with that amber, full and syrupy crunchy pulp.
Mandatory pollination makes this fruit practically with no flesh or a very thin one.

Other black Smyrnas like 'Inchario Preto' is probably the closest comparison the main difference being the pulp colors and the external shape of the fruit

Chivas,

Yes, right.. caramel .
