New Brandy / Scott's Yellow

I told some members I would post photos of the New Brandy/Scott's Yellow that I got from JR .
It has leafed out faster than many of my figs and shows a little breba formation.
For those who are better than me at leaf ID I took enough leaf shots to show most of the variation in shape of the young leaves.
Don't expect to ID it right away unless it is obviously something else. Will update when the fruit ripens.
Can't compare it to my Scott's Black , it was cut back hard and has only tiny leaves at this point.

Serrated leaves does share similarities with Scott Blk. Hope you have
good news.

Kerry,

I was just out looking at my young plants and my Brandy that came from you (indirectly) and my Scott's Black do have adult leaves that look quite a bit alike.  The juvenile leaves though look nothing alike.  

Kerry, here's leaves of my Brandy and Scott's Black for comparison. Both from JR.

Tim, you may have answered this before, but have you gotten figs from both.

I hope all is well you, Sandy, and MIL. We are doing fine except Linda is suffering the aftermath of have a knee replaced. She on her feet and healing but having bouts with pain which are becoming less and less. Looks like I'm off towards a great fig season if only the rains stay away.

Well it ain't yellow.
But it is delicious !
Scott's Black ?
Here is a photo of what my plant from JR turned out to be.

Damn......

Yeah mine was a small dark fig too. 

OMG Kerry it looks delicious! I'm so sorry you didn't get your SY though.
I love the looks of the ones where the color bleeds into the light surround.

Hi Tim,
        This is a Scott's Black that I grew from a cutting from one of your eBay auctions in Spring 2013.

This fig has turned out to be very, very good.
Here are some more pics of fruit and leaves.
Can anyone say for certain that it is LSU Scott's Black from these photos ?

Thanks for any help with this.


Hi noss ,
No the skin isn't tan at all.
I blame the camera if you see tan.
I am sure the camera would blame me.

Kerry,
I can't give you a definitive answer but the leaves and fruit look like my Scott's black. I got it from Bass last year. The couple of fruit I got this year were dark purple, and I think it might be attributable to the combination of young tree age and cool weather at ripening. I thought the flavor was very good especially given the less than ideal conditions and I look forward to seeing how much better it gets with maturity.

Kerry my scott's black from JR looks just like that both leaves and fruit and the fig are great.

Thanks

Thanks for everyone's input on this ID.
I have another Scott's Black that didn't fruit this season , but I don't remember it being as exceptional tasting (though it was very good) or productive as this version.
Could just be age or difference in amount of sun or variation in soil mix/fertilizer  or this particular season , etc...that accounts for the quality.
This version also ripened fruit well in the cool weather , so it gets bumped up to a 25 gallon SIP next season.
I'd like to get Scott's Yellow eventually , but I'm thankful I got this good of a fig by mistake .
Thanks again.

Kerry, thought I would post mine here also. This is LSU Scotts Black and it is from JR also. No leaf pics now, they are all crispy.
