When we stopped by the same nursery just yesterday, I was struck by the sheer disorder in the different types of figs that they offer.
That's why I asked my wife to go back three years in time and try to remember where she picked it from. Now, at the time she came back home with just a picked fig, to let me taste it. The whole idea was if I would like it, then she would buy a tree from the same kind. I did like it, so about two weeks later, she picks up the tree, which she believes is a CDD, and brings it back home.
Since I still liked the figs that come off it, I am not displeased off course, but still, wanting to know the real type of fig I am eating has becoming a bit of a challenge actually.
And, I think I have found it on Calgoni. Now here are the pics from my alleged CDD.

Exactly, and there is a chance they still do not understand ficus DNA well enough for the DNA testing to be trusted.

I am currently growing all three in ground and so far the most productive is the Blanc (UCD).The most vigorous grower is the Gris. I agree with Blue that the Blanc (UCD) is currently my preferred of all three and perhaps of my entire collection. There's another version of Blanc (Baud) that I'm finding to be hard to get to produce in pots. My observation far is that this variety (any Color) needs several years before you get good results and needs lots of heat in order to ripen its fruit. It's a late variety.
