Please excuse my horticultural ignorance in general, and fig stupidity in particular. 

I would like to know if this is a Celeste? I am not sure. My tree is well over 60 years old, was my grandmother's. May even have been my great-grandmother's and has somehow survived being moved about 20 years ago. It produces well.

There are a few other old fig trees about town, but they are of the more "common" variety. Meaning much smaller and lower quality fruit, more prolific producers, and massive in stature. A couple nearing 30'. One which will soon be bulldozed for the new high school. 

I will try to post pictures of the large trees later after I figure out how to properly size pictures for you to view. Please excuse the size/format of the pics. I'm not very handy with this these things. 

Thanks for your input and I enjoy your forum!

Welcome Bullwinkle, Its good to have you aboard.  I'm new around here myself. I once thought there was only only one kind of fig, the Celeste. Boy did this site open my eyes. I'm not going to even try to ID your fig but I will say this, looking at the leaves leads me to think it is not a Celeste. I'm sure some one here will help you out. A 30' fig tree you say, boy would I like to spend some time under it in fig season.

Hello,
I think what you have is Brunswick, unless your grand mother brought it from Europe.
The leaves and the shape of the fruit very much resembles the Brunswick fig.

Hi bullwinkle,

Resizing pictures is easy, ID'ing figs is another story!

But I agree with bass on the Brunswick fig

now back to the resizing thing.

In your "my picture" folder choose the picture ya want to post, right click your mouse over it,choose resize, and choose 640X480

Thank you for the input and warm welcome. Certainly does resemble Brunswick, indeed. Guess I will have to see if I can get a Celeste and get it to grow so I can compare somehow. 

Again, many thanks!

I like your screen name.    :)

Don't think Celeste is the answer. Leaves are definitely wrong, along with shape, eye, and color.
