Fig ID Help Please

This fig is growing in the ground in coastal North Carolina.  Thanks.









This fig look like Bataglia Verde,and if it is very flavorfull with a strawberry flavor,then you got the name for your fig.
Personally my fig did not ripe any fruits thow it is in the forth year,because of cold Sommer in the last 2 years but,I can tell you for sure that the leaves match.
And I herd from other poster about the good flavor of Bataglia verde and the deep interior red color.

It does have a distinctive red fruity flavor.  Quite good really.  Sweet also.  Very different from the dark skinned ones I have like Hardy Chicago or Negrone.  Thanks.

Hey Tim, was it rich in flavor or watery sweet?

Dennis, it is less watery than other figs that I've had.  (Saint Anthony, HC, Negronne, Celeste, BT).  Rich in flavor and sweet but more solid.

Hello Tim, I think your fig could either be Straberry or Chico Straberry.  I have these 2 trees growing side by side and questioned if they were the same tree.  Well, they are not.  I thought it was an Adriatic, but need more time to confirm if it is.  Jon's web site links these figs to Adriatic.  Here is a pic of mine growing side by side in containters.  The leaf patterns are different.  My Strawberry gave me some figs this year that were awesome in flavor and taste, but my Chico Strawberry did not.  I think yours is a Strawberry.  In my first pic, this one is a Chico Strawberry and the other 2 are Strawbwerry.  Notice the leaf patterns.  These pic were taken in SPring, they are 3 times that in size now. 

Tim, you're  not too far from me.  I'm in Charlotte.  Email me whenever you're out this way and I will be glad to show you my collection.  It wasn't much of a collection a few months ago.  But thanks to friends on this forum, I have to say I have quite a collection.  cheers,
