mid eastern figs comparison

It seems that Ray has updated his site with pictures of native figs of Israel.
I have the same named varieties from Lebanon and Syria but they looks slightly different. You will often find that the same named variety although look similar they're not genetically the same. Because middle eastern figs are given descriptive names. For example Shtawi means the winter fig, so any very late fig that has green skin is called Shtawi.

for example here's the Lebanese Shtawi that I have and shared it with Jon.


Here's how the same named variety is in Israel


Here's the Byadi that I have that came from Syria:

Here's the Israeli Byadi



Bass thanks for sharing that information.

I remember you posting that light fig Byadi from Syria last season and i said to my self that fig sure looks like a good one.
Now seeing it again i say the same course looks even better now because there is no season for me as i type this.
Also i keep saying NO MORE ROOM well maybe for 1 or 2 more dark ones !
