Hey there Guys!
This fig is an unidentified fig that is sold locally as a local fig here.
I got the first ripe fig from it yesterday which was 27/11/2014. I thought it was a dark fig.
Here are some leaf photos:
The above leaf pattern is the dominant followed by the one below.

This is the fig on the tree.

It had a pink interior.
This is an accurate colour representation of what it looked like.
Pink interior and yellowish skin.
Is this the Atreano Fig?
Okay, lets talk about the taste:
This fig was split to 6 pieces and tasted by 6 people, Yeah that what you get when most of your family loves figs.
To me it had an acid aroma like a passion fruit and a green mango with a slight sweetness like a honey dew melon. weird smell and mostly fruity. The taste was sweet you can feel the sugars and juices; after that, you can feel the flavour that tastes like a tropical juice that you buy with some figginess to it. The was described to me as "earthy" by one, but I tasted nothing like that. It had an acid aroma but it was sweet not acidic at all. 3 of us tasted the tropical flavour and the others just said Figgy, sweet, Earthy, and one just said it was pleasant and good. It was not as sweet as my other fig, but this is the first fig ever produced by the tree and it was good.
3 said tropical.
1 said figgy and earthy.
1 said good and sweet.
1 had no comment. :P
So, any ideas on the variety?
