Osbourne Figs Information

Dear all ,

I've got Osbourne fig from Canada which is said having green/Yellow skin color . ( The tree now is 7 months of age and its not fruited yet ).  
But I found  almost all Osbourne fig cultivar in US website and on this forum has a purple color skin .
Only In Hawaii Fruit net data base that has a green /Yellow Osbourne figs . Amazingly , its said that Osbourne having very sweet taste ( About 25 brix ??) .

Hope I could have correct information about Osbourne fig cultivar , is it Green or Purple fig ..?

Salam .

The 'Osborn Prolific' cuttings you got from Canada has fruit colour similar to the one shown in your attachment. It is prolific for me here in Ottawa. I hope you get a lot of ripe fruit too.

PS: I just returned from overseas a couple of days ago after 2.5 months. Good to be back.
Many of the cuttings I had started before I left were watered generously in my absence so I may have to restart the Figs for fun.

It is dark color for me. Lives up to its name especially main crop. Reliable variant.

@ Ottawan -- I should air layer one for you to try.

@Paully ,  Thanks for your information , I dont have the purple color one.

@ Asalamualikum Otawan ,
Thank you for your confirmation , Yes , I am really eager to wait its  fruit on this summer
Nice to see you back Otawan ,  Hope you and family are always fine.

Once again Thanks and Salam ,

I may revisit the thread in fall again. I have Osborn Prolific from 3 sources including Paul's and will confirm the colours.
