Early last August I rooted this cutting from a neighbor's tree. Its first fig ripened today--not bad; mildly sweet, thin skin. Hopefully as the weather heats up (and as the tree gets a few years in the ground) the flavor will improve. I'm guessing it's a conadria, but don't know; the pulp looks a lot paler than in the photos I've compared it to. If anybody can identify the cultivar from these photos, I would appreciate it--thanks.

looking at the shape of the leafs on your tree I will say no...
these two pictures are of a Conadria

I think there is more than 1 strain of Conadria. My leaf shape is more like what Mike posted but it could be that your tree is still young and that a dominant leaf shape has not yet formed (just a guess) or it is not a Conadria
Here is a pic of mine top right 2 figs with the skin showing.
Can some one tell me how to draw on pics and what program that is
Thanks

Doubtful.

You're right--I guess leaf shape alone should have prompted me to eliminate Conadria (even though it's very young, the mother tree's leaves are very similar in shape, but larger). My guess is that the parent would have come from a local nursery many years ago (the owners said it was in the yard when they bought the house), so I assumed it would be a well-known type. I've gone through the cultivar list on the Encanto website, looking for common varieties (i.e., names I would have recognized before discovering f4f) that have green/yellow skin, but am not seeing anything that seems likely. I expect it will have to remain "neighbor's unknown."

Or maybe Tuscon Gold.

Hi Ken, that fig doesn't look quite ripe. Flavor may be better if you left it a few more days. I don't know the variety.

Tim--Yeah, I wasn't sure when to pick it. It had been soft for about three days, so I figured I'd give it a try, but I'll give the next one more time and see if it gets better color & taste.

Jon--that does sound better than Neighbor's Unknown!

My conadria has a redder interior.

Giants_2007,

Those figs look great. How was the taste?

Hi Jose Those figs were late in the season even for FL Dec 12-14 last year 2009 The Conadria I had just acquired in July 2009 as a small 10 inch rooted plant and it grew well and gave about 10 figs in Dec-Jan I was very impressed with the flavor from such an immature tree( the ripe ones were like a thick jam heavy for its size but not watery)The other smaller ones are my Blk Unknown which was in first full season acquired in July 2008 and are very good( hope you got yours going) and the one on bottom right is a Brunswick I think and well it is a Brunswick which was hit and miss last season 

Excel or the original Kadota. However if it came from overseas, it could be anything.

Bass, of the two you suggested, Excel sounds likeliest. In photos, the leaf looks pretty variable and certainly covers the bases as far as how the leaves look on mine; also on the fruit I photographed, the eye was closed and the skin was very delicate but the info I read about Kadota said it has tough skin and a drop of "honey" in an otherwise-open eye. I got cuttings of both Excel and Kadota from UCD, so assuming they root and thrive, I'll be able to compare them side-by-side.

Of course, my assumption that it's a common fig from a local nursery has nothing to back it up but guesswork. As you say, "it could be anything." I'm in an old neighborhood (my house was built in the 50's) and there are a couple of other fig trees (purple) on my block that the owners don't know the varieties. I assume both are black missions, but figured I'd check them out once they have ripe fruit to see if they look/taste like mine. Even so, they could be anything as well--I just don't have enough experience to make a very informed assessment.

Here's one more example--I'm confident this one was fully ripe, even though the color stayed pretty green. I waited until it had drooped way down, shrunk a bit, and softened quite a lot before picking it. Taste was okay--definitely worth eating, especially so early in the season, but no match for my dark figs, even though it's been quite warm for the past week or two.

I stopped by to look at the "mother" of my unknown cutting today, and got some shots that may give enough info to properly identify it. The tree is neglected and all of the fruit is being devoured by birds as soon as it's anywhere near ripe, so I couldn't show a fully-ripe example, but I did slice one that the birds had just started on and it gives a pretty good cross-section. I ate the un-pecked side, and it was sweet with a noticeable amount of seed crunch.

We previously ruled out conadria, and Bass had suggested maybe excel or kadota. Based on what I could compare it to on the Encanto site, it looks most like kadota to me. Not many foliage shots to compare it to though, and this has maybe 20% non-lobed, heart-shaped leaves; the rest are lobed. Here are today's shots--if anybody is expert enough to give a more definite ID, I would appreciate it. Thanks very much!
