Another ID question, has anyone ever heard of an "Appalachian Brown Turkey" Fig?  What is its true variety name?  The attached photos were taken today of Main Crop Figs of this variety.  It is one of very few varieties that has any possibility of ever ripening Main Crop Figs here in Seattle.  The tree produces no Brebas and has very pubescent leaves that are either 3 or 5 lobed.  The stone tile is 12"x12" and the two sliced Figs weighed between 22 to 28 grams.

If anyone can ID this variety, please let me know and tell me which of the three photos on the stone tile you think is most representative of the variety so it can be posted on my website.

My 2 cents...The 3rd pic( middle pic of fruit and leaf) has a leaf and fruit representative of Celeste. It matches the ones that I have seen.

Dominick,

Thanks for the input.  Until yesterday I thought it was Celeste but had expected to see more checking on the skin and even smaller fruit.  After looking again at Celeste on the Figs4Fun Varieties, your identification appears to be correct.  Are the leaves of your Celeste extremely pubescent?  Prior to yesterday, Chicago Hardy (Hardy Chicago) had the most pubescent leaves I was aware of but this Celeste has it beat.

Happy Growing,   kiwibob   Seattle
