Please help identify my fig tree

Hi, I have a fig tree that I grow about one year, these are some pictures of it. It has breba, the breba is yellow green skin, red pulp (as the pictures below). The main crop's skin is yellow with some black spot and the pulp is amber (sorry, no picture). Both the breba and main crop are medium size.
Anyone can identify it? Thank you.

The leaf looks very much like one I found on an old tree around the corner from my house.  I'm kind of leaning toward it being an RdB, as well.  However, I'm nowhere near an expert.

Could be a Stella ....

Richard, thank you for your reply, but RDB and 600m both are purplish-black fig.

I just like to try when these post comes up. Its fun to try to use what you seen and guess. Well is that fig fully ripe??

Stella

Agreed, Stella. Finger-like leaves, large yellow tear drop fruit, nice red pulp-good match.

How big is your tree??? Cuttings???? Lol. Really nice tree. . I like fig trees with leaves that differ from the normal 5 lobed leaf.

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes it's really hard to identify a variety, take a look at these pics. These are from the same tree and every year the tree ages I find the figs change appearance and taste. I'm sure everyone can relate to this as well. Most of my trees are unknowns but you know what it doesn't bother me.. they are delicious either way. .happy figgin

Why cant it be Dalmatie?

Dalmatia was my other though. Looks very similar to Stella

I  have "Stella" and I really don't believe this is her. First of all, she does not have Amber flesh. The leaves is also different from Stella also, RdB does not have Amber flesh either..Don't know..: )

Hi,
This is not Dalmatie, because the leaves are not a match, and that fig doesn't look like Dalmatie.

For me this is Gillette aka Croisic, and edible caprifig - from the look of the fruit.
With just one fig, it is impossible to be sure though. 4 or 5 more would help, especially to be sure of the general aspect of the fruits .

In the pics, the pulp looks red, but you described it as amber. If its more golden-peachy inside than red, it's probably in the Brunswick family. I think I read there was significant commercial brunswick fig production in China (in the USA, there are many synonyms for Brunswick like Madonna and Magnolia). Another group of figs that have similar leaves (like Dalmatie, Vasilka Sika, and Bass's fig Eftakia (?)) originated from Greece and nearby Balkan areas and tend to be green or yellow with fairly bright red pulp. The Stella variety is supposedly Italian in origin, but looks similar to the mentioned Greek/Balkan varieties. Oh well, looks like you've definitely got a fig...whatever it may be :)

Stella

Brunswick

Welcome, qzoo !  Interesting fig - how did it taste?
