Identify this fig

Hi everyone!
This is a very good fig I had last summer. It is green, deep red inside, and has a honey drop coming from the eye when ripe. I had another fig which was riper and even darker inside, but unfortunately didn't take a picture. It was very much like eating jam, both texture and taste wise.
I took some scions and grafted them two months ago, and some of my grafts took... so now I'm curious to know what variety this is. Any help would be appreciated!

That is awsome. You must live in,California. Have no clue but nice find. Like the big eye.

You have many figs there that are not in the States.  We have one other Israeli member.  If he doesn't know you might want to seek out some locals.

Thanks

That certainly looks like a winner. Thanks for sharing.
Could you tell  is the tree wild or planted?

cis4elk,
I don't think it's a wild tree since it's planted in a public park. There are several trees of three different varieties that I saw there. It looks like it was trained to grow in tree form, too, so probably not a seedling. 

hello shur. i believe its a vardiko fig u are holding there. one of the best common figs of cyprus. u know our countries are only some kilometres apart and the description and pic seems identical to my figs.look up in the forum 'figs of cyprus' or vardiko fig for more pics

regards

Very interesting, Andreas! who knows, that might be it.
It also looks very similar to the Shtawi fig shown here: http://figs4fun.com/links/FigLink006f.pdf
but the eye doesn't match.

Shur hi. its Bukrati.

Thanks, Eli!

I'll post updates on this fig later this season if I get some fipe ones.
