Good Morning All-

I'm new to fig growing and acquired a fig tree from a local small time nursery. I got this fig tree for about $5 dollars and couldn't pass up however, the owner didn't know the type of fig tree it is.

I had two figs on it, one was finally ready and was the biggest (not that big LOL). I harvested it last night and just cut it open today. It is also closed eye.

Any ideas on what I possibly may have?

If you post a picture of the leaf the experts here would be able to help you more easily.   Welcome btw.    

Thanks for the response and the welcome. I've attached the front and back of the leave. Second photo is behind the same leaf.

I appreciate your help,

I'm not great at fig ID but I can say this.......it sure looks tasty! And welcome by the way

Greetings,
I'm no expert but it looks a lot like a Kadota to me. The figs seem a little small but that could just be cause it is young..
Welcome to the F4F forum, got my start with figs on the clearance rack a Loews...and been figgy with it ever since...

I am going to guess its a Genoa, the leaves look like Genoa and the fruit looks like Genoa..........Where's Jon...he knows...LOL

Verta comes to mind. Genoea as well.

Looks like Verte

Everybody - thank you for the responses. For some reason I wasn't getting any notifications of your responses. My apologies. I'm looking at the Fig Variety Viewer and for the Verte it says a seedless type variety, however, it was full of seeds and the figs are relatively small but then again it is a young tree that I got from a small nursery earlier this year (May/June). Other than the seedless part, everything else on the Verte was point on.

I looked at the Geonoa and the flesh color appeared to be different than what I had as the Geonoa has a lighter flesh.

Hi abjones,

I was curious to see if you ever identified your fig. Green figs with the deep red centers look so good in pics!  I bought an unk. white greek? variety from eBay recently; hope it turns out to be a decent green fig. I've never grown 'Verte,' so I don't mean to second-guess the others, but I thought your fruit shape and leaf looked a lot like Dennis' 'Green Greek' posted earlier in the season:

PS> That closed eye is pretty outstanding...can barely tell it even has one.

I'm slowly narrowing it down LOL. I looked at the pics of the Dennis Green Greek, the flesh/inside looks extremely similar to mine. The skin looks a tad bit lighter but I am trying to compare the leaf. Is the fruit typically small?

In some ways it looks like Verte.  (Many similarities... the leaf, your flavor description, appearance of flesh, appearance of pulp, appearance of the skin, the void in the center (although my own Verte didn't have much noticeable void, others such as the ones in Jon's varieties pages do).  But in other ways it looks different from Verte, for example:  

• the eye (Verte has a noticeable eye, but unless your photo of two halves is from two different figs (each leaving out the eye), the eye on yours is hard to find).
• the size of the fruit  (yours seems on the small side... lots of things could account for that however)

Green Greek is listed as "medium" at Durio.
