Any idea what kind of fig tree this is? Its right outside my hotel room in Lagos, Portugal. Mildly sweet.

We have a tree here in my community with the same leaf pattern and fig. It is unknown...??? The fig is very similar to the one I have, I call it the Family Favorite, don't want to start naming figs with out researching first. Mine gets very sweet with the California sun.

You're in Portugal?!
You lucky dawg, eat as many as you can!

Chome360,

Nice figs you seeing in Lagos.... It could be 'Lingelo' or 'Cavaleiro' , looking at those pictures.
Best will be to try and talk to the chap in charge of keeping the hotel garden, may be he could help.

Once in there pls pay a visit to the municipal market (downtown) where you will see a lot of figs on display (all shapes and colors) , cheap and inviting a test..
Or find out the whereabouts of the 'farmers market' ,on Saturdays (?) (not far from town center) where you may talk  to the growers and again see lots of figs

If you  driving, take the country road -  Lagos / Luz / Burgau /Salema  to see old fig orchards and to have a chance of picking and biting !

The hotel reception will help to find all these places.
Wish you a happy visit

Ruuting, i definitely will!

Lampo, thank you for all the info. We're only in Lagos until tomorrow, than back to Lisbon. Missed out on the Saturday market, I've heard its fantastic. Seems like there's different kinds of fig trees on every corner in this town! Having a great time!!

Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure we do it!

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Have a great time and be safe.

Will do! I'm curious, all these fig trees i see growing everywhere along the side of the road, they seem to be many different kinds...are they generally good tasting varieties? Sane as they sell in stores?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Great market, lots of fig varieties! Couldn't believe all these only cost $3.50.

Hi chome360,
We want the name of each strain and a picture of the leaf :) and a picture of the inside.

Does anyone know variety Higuera Blanca from Portugal? I have one small Higuera Blanca tree which I got from my friend. Unfortunately I couldn't find much information about this variety on internet. Can anyone share some info about this variety?

Hi
The expression ...- Higuera Blanca - is Spanish,    not Portuguese.
where is your friend from ? what region or District ?

I am not sure. If I am not mistaken, he live in Beja.
last time he gave me this link. I am not sure if this is the correct information.
Also the page is not in english

Well, Beja is a Portuguese town.. no doubt!
The link you show relates to a nursery in Chile..and apparently they sell that fig 'Higuera Blanca'
May be later in the season when your tree fruits, after you show pictures of the fruit and leaves we have a better chance to try and find the correct identification.
