I met a lady today that told me she had a fig tree growing in her backyard that was 25+ years old. She said it profusely produced very large figs that are slightly yellow when ripe with a light pink flesh on the inside.  Very sweet tasting too!  According to her, the size is that of a small key lime and produces twice a year. Here is the crazy thing... She originally took a cutting from a neighbors yard and just jammed it in the ground and it took root and has been growing there ever since.
It is described as being about 20 feet tall and about 30 feet across and that is because she prunes it every year.  The main trunk is about 8" in diameter.
She said I could come by this Saturday and get a few cuttings and setup an air layer on it to get a clone. I found out that she has been throwing away the cuttings after pruning each season.  (Not going to happen this year.)  I will take some pictures of it and see if anyone can identify it.  As the season progresses, I will add pictures of leafs and fruit to help identify.
She does not know what it is.
My first though was an Ischia fig but I'm not that sure. 

Any prelim thoughts?

Yellow fig with pink center could be Atreano Gold. If you get cuttings, I would love just one. I'm trying to add more yellow figs to my collection. But I hope it's not Atreano Gold. I already have that one.

cheers,

If she lets me have a few cuttings, I'll share.  But I don't want to be greedy at the first visit. I'm sure you understand.  But if the end season pruning is like she said, there will be plenty for all.

thanks Bill, I do understand. Thanks,

Hey Bill, if pruning season comes and you get some cuttings I will also like some

Well, further investigation has lead me to believe  this mystery fig tree is a Peter's Honey Fig.
I certainly hope so, as I don't have this in my collection.  She is going to give me some cuttings tomorrow.
