Perhaps a male!-Seattle Unknown Fig

 it is an amazing tree, very prolific, easily over 300 brebas! 

Will be getting some ripe ones  and cuttings in the near future, hopefully enough to share again.

Could anyone guess what this variety of fig could be?


UP DATE:

it is a :

Figs are aborting- feel is squeashable

it is a male fig - or needs a wasp - or both.

perhaps a good root stock material.

Beautiful! It seems to be heading in the Yellow skin direction? Would be interesting to peak inside, is it amber or pink?

wow, beautiful tree, esp after the shower!!
looking forward to cuttings
  be curious if anyone can ID

WoW never see this many brebas on the fig tree. Post some pictures of ripe fruit when they are ready and hope some one will bee able to identify. 

I have no idea but I'm excited about a tree that gives lots of brebas in Seattle :)

Right now I'm excited about the possibility of getting any ripe figs.  Bring it on!

Unbelievable Grasa !! That's a beautiful thing. Looking forward to cuttings also !!

Wow, too many brebas.

Desert King w/o a doubt. My DK looks just like that in Tacoma where
ONLY that cultivar has ever produced brebas heavily. Another clue:
to ID: The figs grow on the tips
(just like a DK).

Gillete fig tree

Wrong leaves, so it's NOT Desert King!  Where is the tree Grasa?  Time to stop by my place again.

Looks like I need to head to Seattle since it seems that all the figs grow on that side of Washington. 

Updated with pics!

I spoke too soon; it's NOT a Desert King! The only resemblance is the shear number of brebas.
A better guess would be an Orphan Tena cultivar gone wild! UCD's study ranked Orphan relatively high
for the Pac. NW. They sent me some scions and I'm just starting to test it. There is a
paucity of info on Orphan on the 'net.  If the leaves match, then we are closer to an ID. I am still searching for a variety that can match-up with the breba production of a DK.
