Thx a lot!



please, i appreciate any help!

Thank you!

Hi, Amsman. Do you pictures of the fig uncut? Perhaps someone can have a better idea with more pictires?

It's not a Ronde de Bordeaux. The leaves don't match and would be long fingered type.

Picture is of a Ronde de Bordeaux for comparison.

The second picture is uncut ( the dark fig).  on the last 3 pictures you can see the fig´s skin.

thanks for all answers!

ok, once again ( and the last try)

does anyone know the ID?


thanks!

This is a tough one!  I don't think we did this fig justice, but I will try!  The figs are definitely common figs.  They look amazing!  Can you describe the taste?  

1.  Were they sweet or super sweet?
2.  Were they rich tasting?
3.  Did any ripe figs ooze honey from the eye?
4.  What did they taste like?  Melon?  Mulberries?
5.  How many crops a year does the tree produce?  And when?
6.  Does it have a breba crop?
7.  Any idea how many grams one fig weighs?
8.  Is the eye open or closed when ripe?

Thank you for answering. unfortunately, i had only 2 of them, as it is not my tree - which is in the neighbourhood, but at least i took cuttings, i will try to answer some question.
They were SUPER sweet, one of the sweetest i had, they have a breba and main crop. the fruit´s skin is very dark. 

maybe this is enough?

3.  Did any ripe figs ooze honey from the eye?  No
4.  What did they taste like?  Melon?  Mulberries?  awesome
5.  How many crops a year does the tree produce?  And when? 1 plus a few breba
6.  Does it have a breba crop?  a few
7.  Any idea how many grams one fig weighs? 3-5 oz
8.  Is the eye open or closed when ripe? closed but not tight

Thanks for your answer,
