Hi everyone. This is my neighbors fig that he planted 11 years ago. It is a "green fig" (the one shown cut open is immature). According to him it produces about 5 stages from heavy producing 'almost medium lemon sized' to the last stage which is just a few figs and they are pretty small pictured here. I've tasted them and they are thin skinned and very Sweet and often have a honey drip at the bottom. The tree isn't producing right now except for a a couple of cowboys. We are in Banning CA zones 8b-9b. This is probably a common variety, but I am new to this and wanted to grow some from cuttings. Any idea's to what this is? If there is a yellowish one in the picture, its because it was bird pecked and going bad. Thanks!
Here is a link to the pictures. Thanks Again.   http://s1343.photobucket.com/user/Noel_Goetz/library/Figs?sort=3&page=1

Sorry I don't know your fig.

Hi,
Where in Europe did the tree/owner come from ?
Depending on the origin of the owner, that strain will have different names.
IMO, it is a generic "Pingo de mel". It may have some other names. Old European were/are not naming friendly. It is a white fig, call it white. It drips honey, call it "honey fig", it is black call it ...
I have one growing with the very same duck feet leaves that came from Portugal.
My one was a cutting in July 2014. I was hoping for some ripe figs this year ... But I'll have to wait til the next one ... I guess !
Because you're in Zone9, that tree will produce almost all year round if well cared -with fertilizer/manure and water on demand ! and no surprise frost .

Thanks Jboone and jdsfrance.  I will be receiving a couple of cuttings next month and if Jesus waits to come get me, maybe I will be enjoying some of my own harvest of these figs. They are the sweetest fig I've tried, I had a couple dozen my neighbor gave me and I was trying to save a couple back but they didn't keep well, (but that's usually not a problem) hehe. Any other hint's would be appreciated as well. Love this forum and the nice people here. Thanks again.    

BTW. jdsfrance I think you're right on the identifier. Very very similar. Thanks.

The fig in the pictures ,is Desert King,and the fruits are main crop,desert King.
In favorable conditions as California, Desert King,keeps part of main crop,and if pollinated it keeps all Main crop.
When pollinated main crop are good tasting but when non pollinated they are inferior tasting to Breba crop.
This is a San Pedro type fig.

Very Good! Thanks for the clarification! Now I can tell the owner with confidence and when I grow my own share cuttings with the same confidence. Be well and many thanx!
