Sorry for my absence. Been very busy!
A few years ago I took cuttings from an unknown on county property in San Diego County. Finally, it produced figs last year around October, so of course, nothing ripened. You all thought it is a Caprifig for sure.
This spring the tree has become very large and is loaded with both Breba and the start of main crop figs.
I noticed one hanging, very soft, and turning purplish brown, so I picked it. JD and I split it. VERY sweet! Very juicy. Skin ultra thin. I suspected the "insipid" Brown Turkey, but this fig is really quite good for a Breba!
Yesterday I noticed a VDB all ripe and pretty, thought I'd wait till it got a little more ripe, and by 5 PM it was GONE! I decided not to wait to give you guys a chance at ID for my unknown. I picked one that was very soft, but not yet showing color. Even picked early, it's very sweet and juicy. I wouldn't say it's rich. Just sweet. Almost refreshing.
What do you think? The interior of the first one was much darker. This one looks pithy, but it's not. So very juicy! I love the thin skin! It's a dream fig!
And on it's leaf. Speaking of leaves, I detect no FMV on this tree. Some leaves look ratty but that's because of our high winds. This fig is a little deformed cuz it was squished between a couple branches.
They all have long necks and an elongated shape
Here is the entire tree. As you can see it is in the wrong place. It grew out of it's container and has happily rooted itself under our house. We will cut it back and move it this winter when dormant.
Thanks to the experts in advance! I hope you can ID this one!
