Negretta figs taste sweet and they are very good. 

These are the pictures of Negretta:




















Chris Black figs taste a little sweet, not as sweet as Negretta.

Smith figs taste very good. They are sweet.

Violette de Bordeaux figs are very good.

I bought this Brown Turkey at a nursery in Northern Virginia last week. When these figs turn to totally black they taste very good and sweet like the figs of Smith.

These are the pictures of my new Brown Turkey:















 









I hope that everyone likes my fig photos. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching my fig photos.

Nice pictures and thanks for showing them.
As a note your Vdb could use more time to ripen fully and you will see the difference in taste. ; )

Tam,

Nice photos. Thanks for the updates.

Fantastic pictures, thank you so much for sharing them with us. I also appreciated having your opinion on the taste.

Martin: Thank you for letting me know the unripeness, but it still tasted very good.

Very nice photos.  The inside of my Brown Turkey (or at least what I have been calling a Brown Turkey) is definitely more red than the photos you posted of yours.

Tam, Nice set of fine pictures and gorgeous figs !

Great photos and even better figs.  Tam, what you have labeled as brown turkey is not the Monrovia brown turkey that's so despised.  Yours is a different beast all together.  I'm glad it's good!

Hi Tam
I enjoyed your pictures, beautiful figs.
Thank you for posting them.

Tons of good pics ...
... as most say - thanks for sharing ...

A lot of good looking fig, thanks for pics

Tam, is the Chris Black an unknown fig you found locally?  Any information on the history of this fig.  The fruit is quite large.

Tam,
I can not wait until my smith tree starts producing.I hope they look as good as yours

Steve: Negretta and Chris Black are from Al in Bethesday. I have Smith, Violette de Bordeaux (Negronne) and Brown Turkey. Al told me that Chris Black is very good. Last week, I tasted 2 good and sweet Chris Black figs at his house. However, this morning I stopped by his house and asked him to give me one for the photo. I looked around his tree and asked him for the fig that I photographed. However, as soon as my fingers touched that fig, it fell on the ground. This could be a reason caused the one I got did not taste good. Currently I do not have cuttings of Negretta and Chris Black yet. I had asked him a few times for these cuttings, but he said NO. Recently, he said maybe in this fall he will sell me these cuttings.

Best,
Tam

After my wife got home from work, I let she taste one Brown Turkey fig, which is not fully ripe and one fully ripe Smith fig. She told me that she like the taste and texture in the Brown Turkey better than the Smith. This Brown Turkey has a lot of rootbound. But I wait until all the figs are gone before I repot it.

Best,
Tam

Tam,

What you have as a BT is completely different than any BT I have seen. This will be one to watch.

Great pictures.

I agree with Chris, the fig doesn't look like a Brown Turkey to me as well ...
