Can anyone please identify this fig?

As soon as I get ripe fruit, I'll post a pic or two.  Yes, I'm very happy with this find, it seems like a good one.  I had expected that the dilapidated old house where I found it would be sold, the lot razed including the tree.  Well, the house sold a couple of months ago, and a couple of young buyers have been working hard to fix it up.  They've set up a pair of Adirondack chairs under that fig tree, and it looks like it has become a favorite spot!
Because I took my sweet time starting those Chestnut cuttings, I didn't even realize they had FMV until they'd started to root and leaf out.  Took forever to root them!  They are looking much healthier now, and if you look closely at pics #4 &5, you can see the little figs on the Chestnut cuttings.
I am so sorry that Chestnut St. was such a bust!  Glad 7th is working out for you, though.

Lol, all the cuttings you sent were awesome Joann! No need to apologize. Yours look very very healthy actually. I saw the little figs. Post pics of those also as you pic em! Looking forward for more trades in the future so keep looking!

Today, I took two pictures, the first one is from my Ronde de Bordeaux tree and the second from my Violette de Bordeaux. Your first picture looks closer to a Violette de Bordeaux.

ChrisK:  When I come across another good find, I will most definitely post for trades.  I have my eye on a couple of them.  Also when some of my trees get big enough to clip.

Sas:  Yes, I think my "unknown" looks more like the VdB, too!  Thank you for taking those pics, it sure makes the comparison pretty clear, doesn't it?
