Help Identify Delicious Northeastern Fig Need ID!

Hi this is a great fig, cold hardy in the northeast, tight, closed eye, single plentiful crop ripening August 20th through early October, delicious sweet jammy flavor, my dream fig.  Slighty seedy, faintly lemon-y.  It is NOT Green Ischia since that one ripens later.  Please let me know if anyone has a thought.  This is my first fruit ever from this cutting.  The mother tree has fatter, larger fruits.

Possibly....Italian Honey/White Marseilles/Lattarula/Lemon/St. Anthony...???  Figs almost the size of a  doorknob.

Just a guess.

Thanks Frank

It looks red inside if so not a honey

Adriatic type.

I agree with Dan, too red for Latarulla, could be Latarolla or an Adriatic

Looks almost like my Atreano from the old Bellclare nursery on Long Island.

Its the one in the first picture with the nursery tag still attached, and the one that's cut in half. I hope this helps.

Definitely not Latarolla, which has a breba crop unlike this. Atreano-looks right as far as fruit and leaves go, but I think Atreano might have a breba crop.

Not atriano wrong shape and color.

Galbun seems to be a pretty good match?

Dan Thx for your input

Thanks guys.  I stand corrected.

Celt- did you mean Atreano? Or is the Atriano you mention another fig variety? If you click on the link in my above post, you will see (in the first picture) an original Atreano tree purchased from Belleclare nursery in 2004. Look at the description on its label "green with light red interior". The picture of the cut fig is also an Atreano from that same tree. I believe there is another variant of the Atreano that is not from Belleclare, but I am not sure, and I have no knowledge of it.

Mine is from bc as well
I only have a Breba on it right now. The main is more round but that shape is way off too long

Celt- I'm jealous. Mine are not even close to being ripe up here. With root pruning, top pruning and the cold rainy spring we had this year, all of my figs are at least a month behind if not more. And no breba because of the heavy top pruning I did.

Lost a lot due to the cold. A lot of abortions this season.
