Help ID brown fig

Hey!
Im planting some sucker of this brown fig that a brought from a ranch in San Pedro Martir, in Baja. I guess is very cold resistant because I have know there to be 15 F.
The taste is very good. and is yellow inside. If you have any idea or guess it will be a lot of help.

Is it Mike's Sky Ranch?  We used to go there when I was a kid.

Alex,

Do you have any pics of the ripe main crop and of the inside?

@paulandirene Is 13 milles from Mike's Sky Ranch, I like to go there to swim in the pool :) 

@go4broek Thats the ripe main crop, I don't have pictures from inside (yet :P) I hope to have some this year along with some delicious figs.

Alex,

Are you sure that is the main crop?
1) You can clearly see a later crop developing alongside that ripe one
2) That "main" crop has a long, thin neck typical of a breba crop
3) Those "main" crop figs are all growing on fairly hardened wood (year-old?)

I realize that those pics were taken in late August, so you could be right. Perhaps you can look for pics of a different fig with the same color pulp and meat and post it here to give us an idea of the shade of yellow your fig has? Lastly, I see your tree has multiple trunks, has it ever frozen to the ground or did it do that naturally? Thanks again!



The Breba is the fruit on last year wood and there should be NO leaves at the same node with the fruit.
The older wood should be dark.

The Main Crop is on "new" wood and there should ALSO be leaves present at the same node with the fruit.
The new wood can be both dark and/or green depending on its actual age.

After dormancy, leaves can only come either from the tip or new "shoots" off
older wood (but not directly on the old wood itself - the leaf scar is from the previous year).

The pictures in post#1 indicates Main Crop (I see leaves with fruit).

The picture below shows ONE example with both (ripe) Breba and (green) Main Crop.

 

Your fig looks great; but sorry I cannot truly ID it.

(Apart from maybe, an EBT that just keeps poping in my head ?...)

I planted the little threes in the morning.

Well now Im not so sure of the diferences between the main crop and the breva crop so ill keep a close eye on the figs (hope to get some this year). I havent seen figs growing in wood from previous years, but ill still keep an eye on the three.
It has been frozen to the ground. For sure once but ill ask.
The ripe figs looks like the one George posted, and in the inside is a little bit darker than the one from the second link penandpike but dont get the yellow color in the outside from these figs.
Ill try to find some photos from the inside but i doubt ill find one, the figs dont last that long to take a photo :P 
Thanks! 
Alex
