Looks,very good. Wish you the best of luck. I seen pics of red lebanese but not the inside. Looks like it might be that. But i do not have any fruit to compair it to. Just seen pics

That inside is interesting looks like. Good luck finding the variety.

It look like Beall,a California cultivar found in the wild,as a seedling.

@figpig_66: hi,,..thanks for the info, it looks like RL but the inside is honey pulp..i dont have RL so i cant compare
@smungung: thank you :)
@herman2: do you have any picture of beall? Does it have honey pulp? In our country, it produce many fruits all season without pollination..because there are no figs wasp in my country

Yes it does,Beall has honey interior when not caprified.
Here is a pix of my own tree ,in 2008,while it was young.
It died because it is not cold resistant,and here we got cold Winters.
Trust me is totally amber ,honey inside.
Very, very,few red and purple fig trees are honey inside.

my friends in indonesia have beall & produce fruit without pollination and it has red tinge on petiole, my petiole does not have red tinge at all

What you see in my pix is what it is,if yours is different,then it is not Beall!.

Thank you very much Herman, I compare with mine, it looks similar, I see at some beall at my friend picture also like yours, without red tinge at petiole
These are another pictures :)

Hi,
My 2 cents on "Osborn Prolific". Mine is still to produce figs. But those pics look like pics I've seen for OP.

Thank you...the honey pulp look similar with neveralla (synonim osborn prolific)...what different between beall & osborn prolific? My fruit also have different shape sometime pyriform (with long neck) and sometime not

There is one way to ID one from other:
Beall is totally amber inside,while Neverella is amber too but has, darker reddish pulp ,only, close to the eye of the fig.
You can see Neverella in the link of Figwisperer.
Those pixies are of a genuine Neverella.
Also Beall has more BealFruit09 15RSCN0355.JPG  Beal.JPG  BealDSCN0312.JPG  reddish exterior color while Neverella is more brownish grey.
Here is Beall,one more redish fruit and interior cut open.
The interior will be darker honey if fruit is ripening in hotter climates,but never ,with reddish pigment close to the eye, like Neverella does !.


Hi Herman. It is interesting to know the different between beal and neveralla. Those honey pulp looks great. How about the sweetness and flavor? Do both have same taste?




Thank you herman2 for your valuable information
Based your info, im confident that this is not beall because reddish pigment close to the eye, please see my picture below

I had both of them till 2008 Summer season,but I do not remember how they were different in taste.
All i remember ,is Beall was honey tasting here and very good,but not top class like Col de Dame Ital 258,or Preto.
Neverella was good but,also not top notch.

Thank you Herman, it is nice share.
