Please, help ID fig.

Hello fig lovers! I'm new guy at Figs&Fun.
Great forum you have here! Very informative and fun!

Please help me ID a fig variety.
 
I bought these fig tree cuttings on eBay from a man who lives in PA. He told me that he got his tree cutting from an old Italian man 10 years ago, and that man called it Italian Honey.
Well, obviously, it's not Italian Honey.

Is it possible that Brunswick can be so yellow, I thought it has a dark fruit? The leaf form looks like Brunswick.

There is a video on youtube.com about an old fig tree


and right on 0:22 second of the video you may see the yellow fruit and leaf form. Looks very similar to the pictures I've got from my seller (hope they will upload successfully).

Thank you and have a great weekend everyone!
God Bless!

The leaves do look like Brunswick, but it's not it. Brunswick is darker and elongated.
I've seen several varieties that have similar leaf shape, but I can't recall names. I have one unknown I collected from Pennsylvania that grew in a crack in the sidewalk. I haven't got fruit on it yet.

See Gillette and Portand 1 (though I realize the P1 pix are not up yet). Not Brunswick as I understand Brunswick.

Thank you for your comments everyone!
I guess, I need to wait till it will produce some fruits for me. And then try to identify the variety again.
Any input is much appreciated.
 

For what its worth it looks a lot like my Red Italian in certain years, though the fruit is usually overlaid w/ red or brown. My original cutting was from an Italian family and claimed Italy as origin. It does produce a drop of "honey" that seals the eye. Cuttings available for the asking if you'd like to grow side by side.

Here is one more website I found : http://www.figtrees.net/
These fig growers have Paradiso and Genova varieties.
And leaves and figs look kinda similar to my seller's fig tree.

Does anyone has these varieties?
