Maybe we can ID this!

OK- I've got some photos of my (not) Celeste fig and tree and leaves!  Maybe someone out there in the great figs 4 fun forum will take a stab at it. (fingers crossed)

I really would like to know what I'm growing!!

Forgot to mention how it tasted!!!

It was sweet but not cloying, fairly figgy, and a slight tang after note.  I liked it much better then the breba or the first main fig about a week or so ago.  Very few and very small seed.  The skin was thin and soft.  I shoulda coulda woulda waited until tomorrow, but.........  nah. 

I have 18 left on the tree!  Yes Cecil 18 not 1800!

Brown Turkey?

I looked up pictures of Brown Turkey, and I don't think so.  I agree with Noss about the color, mine are very purple.  Also the inside color was more of an amber color then pick or red.

Hi Jo-Ann

A Couple of months ago, I purchased a 1 gallon fig plant from Home Depot in Austin, TX and the figs on it are almost similar to yours.
The tag said Texas Everbearing.
Some guys in the forum believe that it might have been mislabeled.

i think its a brown turkey.
the leafs match and the fruit too which if left to over ripen looks a bit amber and not pink.

the only issue against this being brown turkey is the red still no ripe one. in my case they are purple green-but maybe it depends on the eather and sun exposure.

i have never ripened them so much that they show the skin cracked though :)

They're just jealous.  It's not a brown turkey.  It's probably a Col de Dame.  Well, maybe not  :)

Last year the general consenses was LSU Purple so that is what I 've gone with.

Looks like the LSU P I saw at the field day.

I don't know how many types of fig trees have silvery bark, but I know my LSU Purples do.

Would anyone care to take a shot at this. About 6 or 7 years ago before I knew that there were about 650 different types of figs, I walked into a nursery in Austin Texas and told the man in charge that I would like to purchase a white fig tree. Now that I have some figs on it, I'm wondering about it. I never trimmed it or did anything to it. Just water it a little when the leaves looked stressed. This is the first year I gave it some organic plant food.
