Conadria EL flesh changed color

So, one of these pictures is 2011 (not labeled) and one is this year. As you all can see the flesh color is very different. I'm always surprised by how difficult it is for me to ID stuff, but if they can't even stay "on color" what chance do I have?
Very tastey both years and my favorite tree the last two years. Add a few very ripe Almas or HC's (Hardy Chicago) and I'm in Heaven.

Michael,

I came across this post as I was search for Conadria.  You are not the only one to notice the change in flesh color - apparently this is a characteristic of Conadria.  Please see this thread most of the way down:

thx Steve. This year one tree ended up much more red then the other. Did you notice I was loving these back then before they got watery.

Michael my conadria does the same it came from Paradise nursery and there awesome.

Welcome to why it is SO difficult to ID figs. I have several varieties that can start the season on color, and end as a different color.

The first time my Sucrette fruited, the first half season they were honey colored and I was almost convinced I had mis-labeled the plant, or swapped it with another variety wen planting.

I jokingly tell people that the breed of their neighbor's dog changes how their fruit looks (when it pees on you tree), but that is to emphasize that they are very very influenced by their environment, and yes, changing the breed of dog could have an affect.

Conadria, is one of the best tasting figs. Mine is very prolific! And mine has an amber center. Mine has never produced a red center. And mine splits when it rains too. This year I plan on placing mine inside my new GH.
