This could be Doree, Synonyms would be Goutte d'Or or Figue d'or.

I had a Brunswick Magnolia ,type that had very beautifull leaves with very long fingers,and fruits that had a red hue at the top of fruit,when unripe.
That one it was beautifull,to look at but very bad in the rain,souring and splitting.
One can see it is different than Haikel yellow when you look at it.Here is a pix of mine,before I discarded it:

Yes Herman2 the leaves on this tree are very distinctive in that regard. They seem to be very palmate or lineate. Your Brunswick Magnolia looked like it was very similar.

Another point I want to make is about the color of this fig. I had started out calling it Haikel Yellow because the owner had told me that the fruit was yellow in color well before I had ever seen the fruit. I guess he just wasn't recalling the color accurately.

As we can see though, this fruit is much more reddish than yellow. The fruit does go from green to yellowish as it ripens but it tends to turn more red pretty rapidly. Naturally the fruits that are most exposed to the sun seem to become more fully red than the fruits that are more shaded.

So maybe we should be calling it Haikel Red :-] - ?

Here are a couple new pics that show the leaves & fruit pretty well:

i still think you have a brunswick.
here is a description from durio nursery that matches your fruit/leaf pics and even its cold hardyness.

""Brunswick [magnolia / madonna / dalmatian / brunswig / khurtmani] - A good, medium to large sized tasty fig with attractive, deeply lobed leaves.  The skin is reddish brown and the flesh is amber to strawberry colored.  It is a vigorous, very hardy (known to survive 5 degrees Fahrenheit without damage) tree with a light breba crop.  The rich, sweet flavor is best when the flowers are pollinated.  The figs are good fresh or preserved.  This is one cultivar that is worth growing for the ornamental value alone.  Because the fruit may spoil if it is excessively wet during ripening, this clone is best grown in the Southwest or other areas where it remains dry during this time.  Reportedly the finest fig grown in Israel.  Fruit oblique-turbinate.  The leaf has a calcarate base and lineate lobes."

compare to pics in post #20 and #13

im not trying to bash yous fig, it looks great infact i have some brunswick trees and in dry years they taste great! :)

I greatly appreciate your input figman. That description does resemble this tree closely. One difference I've seen so far is that none of the fruit I cut into even came close to showing any "strawberry color". Definately amber to honey colored. I'll watch for things like that more closely in the future. 

I guess the best thing for me to do now is to get some Brunswick of my own started this year. Then I can grow them out, side by side, for comparison. 

Here are a couple of 'parting shots' of this tree as this season comes to a close.

Sort of brings this season full circle for this tree ;-) .

Saxonfig:You did not see the difference:My fruits had a red hue on tips when very young and yours does not.?

H2: You're right! I neglected to see that point about the red hue on yours when UNRIPE.  I was focusing on your comments about the leaf shape. The Haikel has no indication of red on the fruits until they begin to swell at the ripening stage (from what I've observed so far). This may be an important point to note when comparing it to Brunswick.

I can't comment yet on how this one does during rainy periods. Firstly because we had a very dry summer this year. Second, I didn't focus on how the fruit was doing even after it had rained - probably not enough to effect the fruit much anyway. So it may take some time before we really know more about how it does in rainier, cooler areas. I could ask the owner if he's noticed a difference in the fruit during rainy cooler summers - ?

Something else I just thought of. I saw no splitting fruit on these trees at all. Could just be because we had a dry season. Could be that it resists splitting. Time will tell.  

here is a pic from Baud  in France

Well, based on that one picture alone, I'd say the Haikel is definately not the same fruit. I've not seen any of the Haikel fruit with a "neck" like that.

But obviously there can be great variability between trees of the same type as well as considerable variation in fruit even on the same tree.

It would be great to see some more images of Brunswick trees - close-ups of leaves & fruit especially. Does anyone have some good pics they could share of their own Brunswick trees? It would be nice to get a broader spectrum of pics before conceding to or ruling out completely whether this tree is a Brunswick or not.

I honestly have not seen a Brunswick tree in person. So more pics will have to suffice until I see one/get one started of my own.  

Thanks Bill for sending out this tree!  You should see my trees today!  Absolutely beautiful!

Hi,
My 2 cents: That's the French "Goutte d'or" ... Don't wait for the honey drop... It doesn't appear .
Funny, in my Zone7, some tips get burned on my goutte d'or, but most make it.
Does that tree bare brebas ?
My "goutte d'or" is testing me ... The brebas grow big and then some drop before being edible. 2 just dropped this week ...
I have only single brebas per stem if any fig. Not productive on the breba crop.
I'll see how they behave this year - I have 3 from the same little bush that I bought in october 2011 - she is in her forth year. She was a small tree.
May have been a tissue-culture propagated tree.
"Goute d'or" "Madeleine des deux saisons" and "Brunswick" seem to all have the same leaf style.
I'm still waiting on my mdds to fruit for a full comparison . From Bauds book himself, mdds is a sport of the english one called "Brunswick" .
Well, I'll see ...
