Help ID New Find

I came across this tree a few days ago.  The figs are just starting to rippen here in South Louisiana which means this is a late ripener. The owner of the tree used to be good friends with Thomas Becnel. He said the tree came from cuttings brought over from Yugoslavia. Its a sweet fig and very productive.




A nice looking fig Jeff,  it looks like the eye is closed, and you say it's productive. Sounds like you found a good one. Just call it a U-GO. Haha.

U-Go, I like that Gene.  I will be going back in a week or so to get a better idea of the fig.  It seems to be a good fig that ripens over a long period of time, so it could extend our season.  The owner likes this fig alot, and he knows a good fig.  He has native black, smith, hardy chicago, and a few others.  He also has a small black one that is supposed to be great.  It looks like a black celeste.  The inside is dark red.  I love finding new figs.
