Loungue d'Aout main Crop

Here are some pictures of my LdA figs..due to climatic condition of the area where I live..not sure whether I can get the brebas or not..
Guess the chances are very slim and look like I have to make do with it.

How's the taste? Can you show some leaves? The small amount of leaf I can see makes me wonder if your variety is legit. I may be wrong, could be photo angle or an atypical leaf.

Hi Calvin..
Very rich in taste and so sweet..
Here are another two of 'em which ripen earlier.. a Tena is in the middle..

Hi,
Nice figs, but from the color and shape, they are the brebas of lda.
My longue d'aout has still to show a breba, but she makes the maincrop . On pics I saw of the brebas of lda, they are green-yellow, where the maincrop has
that very recognizable red blush on the skin. The brebas have a neck where the maincrop does not.

Owh really?..thanks for the info jdsfrance.
Btw our climate has only two seasons..hot and raining season..temperature ranges from 24-36C

They look great. I'm drooling. :).. I have 2 cuttings I am attempting to root. Maybe next year or in 2 years I can finally taste these fruits.

Thanks for the extra pic. I'm not sure, seems to be some pretty good variability with this leaf as far as finger width. My LdA has leaves that are fat, closer to a maple leaf in form. Others pics I've seen are slimmer, more like an RdB. They all seem to have similar shape of the leaf tip region though, and yours I can't really tell, or see well. Another difference is the figlets, the very young figlets for my tree are..long, with a rather long stem, which is unique to this tree; none of my other trees have this trait. Not sure if climate/region would affect that or not.  I know nothing of the Ida variety, but I can see where Ida and LdA could get confused.
Not much help other than planting seed of doubt, sorry for that. Maybe someone else will have a better conclusion of ID.  Whether the ID is correct or not, it looks like a great tasting and productive fig. Congratulations!

Thank you Jeff..
It's okei Calvin..thanks for the compliment..
