Honey sweet fig.

Hi All and happy Independents day.  Today i went to my garden to check on my figs after all this heat has past and i found a ripe fig on the tree that i got from my Afghan friend as a gift. He is not sure what variety is this one. Look like BT  but now i am not sure any more. I would  like your opinion. Fruit is size of a quarter and honey sweet and very figy, over all very nice fig. If you have any idea what this one can be please let me know.

Thank you All

Eden,
Let be the first to say that it is absolutely 110% NOT a BT.

Nice looking fig, though.

Funny but I agree with you. Definitely is very nice fig one of better ones i ever tried.

Definitely not Brown Turkey, good looking fig, but I have no idea what it might be. 

Did your Afghan friend say where it was from? Maybe they brought it from back home? If so, ask questions as to what region, what's the name, ask all kind of question and try to get some answers.

You might have something there.

I asked him when I visited but unfortunately he is not good with kipping records of his fig trees since he planted his first tree back in 1985. He did not  mentioned bringing any fig cuttings from Afghanistan.
Rafed When i visited him hi was so
generous like you i love Johns story.  Thank you 

That fig is similar,To Beall, but I am sure it is an afghan fig and not Beall.
Good find because Beall is almost impossible to grow outside California due to FMV,and the fact it is absolutely ,not cold hardy.
Fig trees from Afghanistan are usually hardy because tho Summer are hot there Winter are very cold and especially so if ,grown at high altitude semi desert.

The last time I saw a fig with the inside color like this was a San Giovanni. But the skin was a bit more orange.

Resembles qila saif quite a bit wich is from Pakistan but exterior color pulp color and shape seems to be the same leaves too are very close.
