Lost tag winner

Very inconveniently I have a couple trees with missing tags. Don't know what happened to them, probably a squirrel or some other critter toying with me. Anyway, this was the first fig from one of those trees and it was excellent!! Very sweet, rich taste, definitely better than several other dark figs I've been growing for years. I'm not very good at leaf ID but if anyone cares to take a guess at it please do.

It looks like the one from my wifes grandfather. I know you got one two years ago. It was labeled CM7.

Great looking fig Barry looks delicious.

Fig looks like the variant Rosetta. I will try to get a pic & post. I have been enjoying my Rosetta
fig the last 2 days. Excellent tasting.

GM-1, Black Weeping, St Jerome, maybe?

Temporary name: Barry's Boo-boo? ;-))

Yep, that sounds like the right name.

Too bad about the mishap Barry.  I've had a couple similar occurrences (I think it was squirrels), but I know which two varieties it was so I've labeled them with both names and a question mark, and am waiting til they make fruit to identify which is which.  (Meanwhile I put wired tags on the rest of the trees).  But sounds like a winner fig, and looks likely you'll get it narrowed down and identified.

Booboo was actually a nick name in grade school. Who told you! Thanks everyone. Jon I don't think it's any of those, I've never had them. It may very well be Marcus' grandfather in law's tree as I can't recall seeing that tag this year, it does look to be about a 2 year old tree size wise. And if Paully is correct, then we have a name for it. For now I will tentatively call it CM7

My tree got damaged in the garage and had a very slow start, so no fruit this year. I can get some leaf pictures to take a look at.

Positivelly CM7
It seem similar to Sal Corleone,but darker in color here in my Backyard.

Thanks Herman, between you and Marcus it looks like a positive ID. It does somewhat look like a SC but darker, a bit smaller too and to my taste, it's better than SC.
