If it's a BT. I have picked three breba figs. The first one had been pecked and was sour and moldy. The second was soft and drooping and I ate it as was the third.

This part puzzles me. I thought the BT was a dark fig. These figs were more yellow on the top and brownish at the bottom. Did I need to wait another day for full color change? I'm sorry when I found these it wasn't a Kodak moment. I'll try to get a picture of the next one.

The taste!
Juicy = Watery
Delicate flavor = insipid
All in all I'd give it a 10 as there were no other entries to compare it with.

So does the BT have a yellow stage?

Pics are everything.  Can't tell anything without them.  But you got no pics?  It wasn't abnormal for my (now dead hacked up) BT to have the yellow to tan interior if I left it till dead-hanging-ripe.

It's a brown turkey.  Brown is normal  :)  Yellow and violet are common colors (on the outside).  Make sure you don't water it any more than necessary while it's fruiting.  Some BTs are better than others, too.

Well I picked two more today and took pictures but all of them were too big. My computer is so slow. All this is sooooo aggravating. I'll see what I can do.

Take pics with your cell phone, send them to your email address and load from there 

Hey Charles,

Look at these pics of my Brown Turkey fruit and you'll see the deviation of interior colors.  I'm posting this first one because it (to me) describes the fruit you mention:

Then there's these:

Fruit can be different in color depending on level of ripeness.  BT tends to brown out more depending on how much water it gets while ripening and based on how ripe it actually is, and even whether it's breba crop or not.

Check out these pics of a Black Mission I found very close to my house at a church:

Some pink...some brown.... the riper they get the browner they seem to turn inside.  I mention this because UCD research found either Mission or Black Mission as being genetically related to Brown Turkey.

Confused yet?

Barry You give me way to much credit. I do not have texting, e-mail or internet on my phone and I'm still mad I can't get basic service for $19.99.

Thanks Jason,

I'm looking at those photos. It is similiar. I've got to get time to post them after I resize them.

Charles, sorry to hear that. My phone doesn't have internet, but I can do all the rest. Hope it's not a rotary...

I purchased a brown turkey from our local grocery store, Stop N Shop. The tree grew figs, but they all just disappeared. I blame the squirrels. Then I had three brebas, but they all fell off. So I am looking towards my first brown turkey this year, maybe next month? The BT got me into figs, so it is, for now, near and dear to my heart.

I have no idea why that one in the middle is so huge. By the way the green background is St Augustine grass! That's two big figs! LOL

Charles, They look like Brown Turkey to me. I'm not the best at identifying, so perhaps someone else will also chime in. I have a very productive excellent growing and good tasting BT. Don't let the BT haters disuade you from growing. A good one is good, just saddled with a cursed name.
