Enjoy the photos taken this morning, cold, wet, soggy Seattle.

The main crop continue to ripe and they are delicious. Some tell me it is Brown Turkey....hum, whatever it is - it is a keeper, this is a 23 y.o. tree I planted for my son. Over neglected for years with back hacking pruning, but since I found this forum and am taking better care, my tree produced 4 fruits last year, and I lost count this year, some 30-40 brebas and more than 30 main figs... needless to say I am in heavens.

Some are huge, this one I opened could stay one more day, it is almost 3" in diameter.

One airlayer that I will be planting today and my triplet  graft with Panachee. (crossing fingers for it to stay alive over winter.

Beautiful figs!  Thanks for sharing the pictures.  =)

Great looking figs Grasa- super sized ! Good roots on that airlayer . I have to try it next summer. Thanks for sharing your pics.

Great pics Grasa.  I am thinking that "brown turkey" is a catch all for large dark figs that people don't know the name of.   Because there seems to be so many variants.  Whether it is or not, if the fruit is good, that's all that counts.

If it tastes good in the PNW it's probably not a brown turkey.  I think that fig you cut open needs more like another week, though  :)

Grasa,

Nice figs and wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Keep on doing the good work.

Beautiful fig Grasa...nice work...hope that tripple graft works for you.

Nice figs Grasa, thanks for sharing.

Best,

Grasa, wonderfull figs. You must be in fig heaven! Now you profit from your good care.

VERN'S BROWN TURKEY. Information and picture from one green world: 
 Vern's Brown Turkey has proven itself a reliable and productive variety in the Northwest. It bears large, sweet and flavorful, dark brown figs with light amber flesh, often producing two crops a year.

 

Some real nice pics Grasa. Are some of the cuttings you sent me in the Spring from that tree? (dark brwn turkey) I too would be interested in its ID.

I planted a brown turkey this year. I have read good but mainly bad things about it so i had to get one to see for myself.hopfully next season i will find out.

Grasa;good looking fig!

Woody, I think this Vern VT is close to the description of mine, but my figs look a lot better, I have some real gems ripening right now.

Ben, I don't remember what I sent you, but if I wrote unknown possibly BT or purple fig, that is my fig. i will have many cuttings and rooted sticks to send out next year. I will announce when I will have them.  I feel very luck with finding this forum and being able to rescue my fig tree, in its 23 years, it was never protected from cold, snow, and it was never fertilized of any kind, except now my worm bin is under it, so some drops of that tea is falling in the area.

These figs could be Dauphine !? No ?
I know they are quite diversified and reflect the overall conditions of weather, soil, treatment, etc
but these look similar to what I have already seen somewhere

my main crop is all over the place with their shape, from olive looking to a tennis ball that was smashed, long and short stems, deep purple solid others with stripes... I try tracing it back to the source, but the greenhouse does not have specific records of that time, so, no luck there, from now, it is still unknown purple.

Looks like my Vern's Brown Turkey. You have a very good fig!

Hey Grasa,
Here is a new offering from Raintree, which is in your neck of the woods. Look familiar?

Very nice figs and pics Grasa.  I'm glad to hear you're having success with your figs this year!

could we seen a shot of the leaves? I didn't see anything about the olympian other than what was already stated.

That was the only picture offered, just thought it might possibly help Grasa being it was from her area and looks similar. I think she has mentioned going there in a post, but I could be wrong, maybe if it's close she could compare and possibly solve her mystery.

Calvin, my tree has given me some 300+ figs this season, none look like this picture you posted. oh well.

I tried. :)

I think you should give this fig a code name until you figure out what it is.
