I bought this tree on the web last fall as a Hardy Chicago.  (Hint:  I bought another HC tree from the same place and it turned out to not be HC.) Two of the 3 maincrop figlets that came out in mid july dried up while small.  One seemed to be growing at a good pace so I left it on, not hoping for much.  It went from green and hard to nearly ripe in just a few days.  On Aug 31 I noticed that it was turning more yellowish than brown/purple as it ripened.  In hindsight it was probably fully ripe on Aug 31 or even Aug 30 , but I noticed a bit more darkening, so I left it on the tree.  Here are some pics of the fruit - note the very short (almost non-existent) stem. It had more of a yellow tint than comes out in the pictures.
      (This 3rd pic is overexposed but shows the yellow color better.)
Here are a few shots of various leaves on the upper part of the tree:
         

Today (Sep 1) I checked it and it had that "I'm very ripe you better pick me and eat me" look to it.  Actually, it was starting to look a bit ugly and overripe.  I was waiting to see if it would darken and turn more purple, but it was more of a lighter brown and still had the yellowish look to it:
   
    
The flesh was overripe when I picked it but still had the yellow look to it.  If I had picked this fig a few days earlier (when ripe, not overripe) the outside would have been greenish/yellowish with only a bit of brown.)
It was sweet (not too sweet), moist (not at all watery) with a bit of berry flavor.
Does anyone know what this might be?

lol no offense but thats a paleface wanna be .
Here is "not a wanna be" from 2012 going thru ripening process.
All in fun.

Martin,
  No offense taken ;-)  I was hoping/expecting it would turn into something that looks like your pic!  At this point I don't think it is even a Hardy Chicago.  But I'm also willing to believe it is an undernourished, didn't get enough sun, alternately overwatered and underwatered, stressed-out poor excuse for a Hardy Chicago!  The short stem looks right and the red flesh looks right, and some of the leaves kinda-sorta look right...but there's just too much that looks wrong!  At least it was tasty ;-)

Long as you enjoy its taste thats all counts no matter what it is.
Good luck with your plant.

BUMP -- Now that the busy holiday weekend is over, I thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone had ideas on what this fig might actually be (if not an anemic Hardy Chicago).  Thanks in advance.
Jim

I am no expert, but I don't think that's a Hardy Chicago. The leaves don't look right. The fruit doesn't look right. Of course, that doesn't help. You want to know what it is, not what it isn't.

Jim,
It may be Hardy Chicago, just an anomaly with the first figs.
I have a large Unknown Bryantdark air layer in a 5 gallon container, it usually produces purple-brown figs, its first ripe fig a few days ago was tan in color, but the taste was the same as the normal colored fig. I am blaming the weather.
