Heres some pictures of a tree that I started from cuttings a local Italian guy has this tree in his yard and it stands about 18 ft tall 2 years ago he gave me cuttings and I started about 6 trees he doesn't know what variety the tree is I thought someone here could help identify it? The figs are very sweet and delicious . 

hey dave im no expert but it looks to be a brown turkey or black mission im new to this forum and just getting my feet wet do you have any suggestions where i can get some cuttings for the s+h fee only

Looks nothing like my Monrovia BT and way too small to be BM.  Looks more like Hardy Chicago to me or some Mt Etna-based fig.  I suspect that Gorgi might have some input on this.

Dave,
 It looks very similar to a rooted tree I received from a friend that originally brought it over from Sicily. Interstingly this tree is almost identical to the Brown Turkey (labeled that way) I got from Miller Nursery. Does yours have a berry flavor in addition to being very sweet?

i know im not crazy i thought it looked like a bt it looks a little smaller but i agree bt 

Doesn't look like BT leaf.

Looks like a Hardy Chicago type fig.  There are other varieties that are of a similar type, for example Dark Portuguese and Sal's EL.  I have an unknown I've been calling Joe's Jersey that is also of this type.  These are good figs.  Good find.

I know it is not a Brown Turkey 

The leaves look a lot like my UC Davis 187-25, but it's a green fig. I don't think it's a Portugese variety. The leaves don't resemble my Black mission either. Could it be a black Greek, or black Lebanese? I don't have either one. I agree with Jon, it doesn't look like a BT leaf.

Guys listen to Jason he has 3,000 posts and 2800 are about BT

The leaves, fruit color and size look like Sals from the old Bellaclaire nursery.  A professor friend of mine had a student from NY pick one up for him years ago and he gave me some plants.  The long pointed center leaf section is almost identical to mine.

Here are a couple of old posts that should shed some light on this subject.

Joe, here's some pictures of the 2nd link that you provided the leaves and the 2 figs on the bottom sure look identical to the tree that I have  I believe it may  be a match Hardy Chicago aka Mongibello fig

Assuming that it is a Sal's fig with some heritage from Belleclare Nursery LI, NY;

it is definitely NOT a Sal (Corleone #31), but most likely the 'other' Sal (BC#39).

39. SICILIAN BLACK (Sal's) (Fico Nera) (a) medium large, dark black, red center, very juicy & sweet (2 crops) 

Although the fruit is very similar to the more available (HC) EL/Gene strains;

I think that it is a different close-cousin;

my tree produces thinner-twigs and smaller-leaves...

Here Is A Photo Of The Mother Tree

Looks very similar to one I have. I bought it from a local person who doesn't know it's identity other than he got a start from an older italian guy. It's flavor is almost like Hardy Chicago but not quite as sweet and the size is slightly smaller but not by much. Thinking it's a variety of HC.

I agree its not a Brown Turkey. I also believe the BT I got from Miller Nursery is not a true BT but a Mt Etna type that is related to HC and Sals but not the same. I have a HC and Dark Portuguese and the leaves are a little different and the taste is not quite as sweet but a little more "fruity". Either way its a very good fig. When I first came on the forum I could not understand why everyone hated BT but now I know the BT I had was not a BT!

Pete,

See Jon's presentation for CRFG here: http://figs4fun.com/basics_Taste.html

Note comment #5 about Brown Turkey.

Thanks everyone for helping me try to identify this fig  this is the 3rd year I have these trees I will watch them closely as the figs progress  and pay more attention to the flavor when they ripen and add some new photos along the way, 

Dave,
 I was looking at the picture you posted of the mother tree ... that is a huge tree. I gather it is left unprotected during the winter time? Being you live in Connecticut that is a very cold hearty tree.

 Pete

PHD, I was thinking the same thing. Is the mother tree protected suring the winter?  Dave, are your trees going to go in-ground?  Thanks for sharing.

The mother tree is protected during the winter he wraps it with old carpet and blue tarps "lots of work" My Trees Are Still In Pots
