Identification Help/Free Cuttings Offered

Hi everyone, I am going to make two separate posts here so that there is no confusion.  I am trying to identify two unknown figs in my collection.  The first one produces plump, green figs with a red pulp with exceptional flavor, they ripen at the end of August, there is very scarce breba production, I will first post my little tree, grown from a cutting:

And 4 pictures from the mother tree:

Does Anyone have a clue what variety this might be?  Thank you all!

Ok now I am going to request identification of a fig cutting grown from a large tree near Modena, Italy.  The climate there is very warm, dry summers, and temperate, cooler and moist in Autumn and Springtime.  I am going to be massively pruning down this bush come late October, so if anyone is interested in a cutting, please let me know.  I am also interested in obtaining a Ronde de Bordeaux cutting.

The last picture shows a ripe main crop fig in late august a couple of years ago.  The mother tree was huge, and maturation seems a lot earlier in Italy than here in New York.  There does not appear to be a breba crop.  The fruit is brownish/purple when it ripens, but it stays green until the very end when the fruit rapidly expands and develops color in a matter of 3-5 days before fully ripening.  Does anyone have any idea what variety this resembles?  Thank you!!

Hi rafael,

I'm interested in obtaining some of your cuttings.  Do you ship to Toronto, Canada?  Thanks.
