I picked up this fig from my coworkers father. This is the first year I am getting any fruit from it. The figs look a little small since the tree is young. All my coworker knows is he got the fig from a catalog 20 or so years ago. I feel like it may be a mission fig. The pictures of the fruit are not totally ripe, but the squirrels are taking everything so I had to pic them early just to have some chance of figuring out what they are. Any opinions are appreciated.













This was a picture of a fig she brought from his tree last year, but I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the inside.

I would say no, not a BM

That fig was sold ,by Miller Nurseries,In Canandigua NY,as English Brown Turkey.
I had one.
Of course it is not, English Brown Turkey.
Will produce very few fruits in my location,so I discarded it,after 4 years.
It is got a closed eye so I think ,i made a mistake,discarding.
It is its own kind,can't recognize what it is.

Thanks Herman! You are a fig encylopedia! I'm a little confused though by your last statement. Are you recommending discarding it or keeping it?

Keep it.
May be your specimen was rooted from a productive branch and it will produce fruits just fine.
Fig trees are so variable even if they are rooted from same tree.
What I remember about my specimen was that it was closed eye,and it seem yours is too.
For that reason only it is worth keeping,not to mention it had a very good taste.

To me it looks like LSU Purple

Hi 71GTO,
Judging a tree is best done when the tree is planted in ground .
Keeping the tree or not is your choice as your local conditions may allow for a better quality of the fruits in your situation.
How old is that tree ?

Depending on the space you have, I would pot up that tree come next Spring. You'll see, the bigger the pot, the more they sky rocket and the thicker the stems !
The fig in your photo is in the small sized figs category . So not consistent with black mission.

Wise man said: If the tree produces fruits and they are good for me; I keep the tree.

Thanks guy! I'll keep it another season and see. The tree is a few years old and was a fast grower, but it died back to the trunk two winters ago after I made a mistake storing it. Right now I have it in a 15g pot. My coworkers fathers tree is inground and he was no longer covering it. I don't know how it faired this past winter. I'll take a look at lsu purple pics and compare also.

71GTO,
I'm with Dfoster25, It looks like an LSU Purple. Attached is a picture from an LSU Purple EL. Good Luck.
 

Looks like Tilsbury's Brown Turkey or LSU Purple.

I definitely see similarities with lsu purple from pics in the archives. Hey Dennis, how is it going?
