Can you identify this fig?

So not to veer off the subject of my other thread, I thought I'd make this one to focus on the ID of my figs.  I originally thought they were brown turkey, but apparently not.  These are off a mature 9 yr old tree.  Some should've been picked sooner, and some should've been picked later.  Any help is appreciated!




This fig is from my 2 yr old tree and looks different than the above figs, but they're all genetically identical, as they came from one tree several years ago.  Thanks!

Frank,

Looks like a nice fig with a tight eye. Do you have pics of the parent tree and leaf shapes? The pics from the younger tree's fruit appear to be breba. Are they? Does the parent tree produce a breba crop? Can you give us an idea of the size of the fruits?

You are correct.  The cut-open fig is breba, which was picked in June.  I'm not sure if the parent tree makes a breba crop, but I'm betting it does.  Below is a pic of the parent tree the large figs came from.  I didn't get any closeup shots of the leaf though.  The mature figs in the container shown above were a little larger than a golf ball.

Well, I think I'm getting closer to figuring out my species of fig.  Anyone familiar with Bella Brunetta Rossa?  It looks a lot like my fig, but I haven't found a picture of the guts yet.
