Thanks Gene. On this thread, Dennis said he had a fruit that was yellowish brown. Bass says his tree produced a “big flat yellow fig”. Everyone agreed it was a poor grower. No one describes its taste.

Vladis posted some pictures and Russian that Google translated as “The Soviet Union was not a variety of figs "Tashkent". It is a misnomer coined fan exclusively for commerce.” He added a nice picture with Russian that translated as: “I found a photo of the class "Uzbek yellow" in the US "Tashkent".
Fedy posted some pictures of a flat yellow fig with Russian that translated: “Uzbek yellow in my garden”.
So is Tashkent is also known as Uzbek Yellow, but not Sari Zybek?
