Good day, I have 2, 2yr old fig trees that I purchased from HD 2 years ago.  These figs are now producing a lot of figs for its size.  I have them in 3 gallon pots and I know I have to repot this Fall.  But take a look at this fig.  It is suppose to be a Brown Turkey but looks nothing like the other BTs I have.  I picked one ripe fig moments ago and it is a green soft fig with a pink interior.  It is very sweet but not as sweet as Celeste or Ronde De Bourdeaux.  It was rich and had a hondeydew kinda flavor and not that many seeds.  It is a keeper though!  Take a look at my pics below.  Now I was thinking its a Brooklyn White but I some BWs and all they do is split or rot.  I haven't tasted a good one yet unless this is one.  I know Bass, Herman2, Jon, Martin or Sal may know.  Feel free to chime in here guys.  I need to go hide these figs from my wife because she loves figs too!  thanks for watching,

Dennis,

I have an unknown which is similar.  When I bought it at a nursery in Houston many years ago, it had three names on the label 'Chicago Hardy', Jelly, and 'Arkansas Black' (which is an apple).  As it turns out, it has as much of a chance of being an apple as it does either of the other two.  At the time I posted pics in the Gardenweb forum, but it remained unidentified.  Both the leaves and fruit are close, but not exact.

It is one of my RKN+ trees which survived last year.  I am planning on heat treating the roots this year and planting it into the ground..

You are going to plant a tree with RKN? Is the heat treating method you mention 100% effective?

John,

I guess I should have been more specific.  The trees were previously RKN+ and treated.  I have some that were heat treated and some that their roots were exposed to hot windy air for two hours. 

It seems to be effective.  Jose had similar results as I did.  I got the idea after a discussion with a professor at U of Chicago several years ago.  The trees which received heat treatment which I've checked, have remained RKN-.  If they are still RKN- when I bare-root them, I will heat treat them again and plant.  If not, they will get the heat again and go back into a quarantined container for another year.

....getting back to my original question....any idea what fig this is?

Thanks Bass.  My fig has a red interior and very few seeds.  Your Green Italian looks like it has more seeds.  I'm going to let the next fig say on a day or two longer.  I think if I do,  it will turn blood red.  Thank you Bass.....also check your email.  You have a few emails from me.  thanks, Dennis

Could be Kadota.

My Brooklyn white has more rounded leaves.  I would say it's not B.W.

It is similar to Kadota, and Home depot sells kadota once in a while, it's a possible mix up. However the leaves are different than a Kadota. 

Hey Bass, I like that.  I had a Kadota too.  It was six feet tall but our harse winter killed it.  This fig was left out on my deck uncovered unprotected.  I placed it in my greenhouse in Febraury after the harsh weather to let it green up some.  Well it did not leaf out until April....well look at it now!  I think I will call it Green Turkey.  Thank you Bass....you have mail.  cheers,

Does anyone see any similarities?

Sal, I do see some similarities.  The leaves on Tim's Fig are broader than mine.  Plus I have a huge LSU Gold although it has figs on it, the leaves and fruit on my LSU GOld are no where near the size of the fruit on my tree.  Plus my LSU Gold is twice the size and age and fruit is not even close to being ripe.  My Green Turkey fig is more green than yellow has the softness feel and touch of an ripe apricot.  I have 2 of these trees!  I was going to plant these trees in the ground.  However, now I think I'll just repot it this Fall in a huge 30 gallon tub and store it in my garage over winter for more evaluation next year.  I almost threw this fig out months ago.  LIke I said earlier, both trees were left outside all winter in the rain, sleet and snow in the same container.  I did nothing to it except place in in my greenhouse in Spring to see if it would grow back and it did.  I have some more figs getting ripe.  I'll post more pics later.  cheers and thanks for all your comments.

Not completely but sure has alot of similarities to the Atreano, Has to be in its family.  Found your Green Turkey Ciao dennis

I like the name "Green Turkey".

Ok, the jury is out!  And the verdick is my unknown figs is called a Golden Atreano.  For months, I have be searching the forums and web trying to match this fig.  According to a thread on the Garden Web fig forum, my unknown green fig is called a Golden Atreano!  The leaf patterns are the same based on  Jame aka bjs496 from Houston Texas.  His discription of the fig is exactly like my 2 unknowns.  Look at his leaf pattern and look at mine.  They are a match!  But different from my big Atreano fig tree.  I hope I don't get in trouble for this .... here is the Link to the source:
