From my unkown NJ Red. 

The eye never opens, even after a deluge.

It is a medium sized reddish-brown fig with extraordinary complex flavors... not for children or the casual figger.

Frank, you tease! Have we seen the ripe fruit?

Was it hardy in Joisey?

Hey Ruben, pictures 4-7 in post below ...

It was indeed hardy from the land from whence it came, Brent.

It reminds me of this tree in Wilmington, DE. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/show_single_post?pid=1269943286&postcount=2

I thought those figs had a cranberry sort of flavor, hard to describe though, also it did not split or spoil at all last season while ripening fruit through a hurricane and sustained heavy rains.

Pretty close, Brent.

The NJ Reds appear to have a thinner skin and  not as round. They could be cousins.

Thanks for the link/reminder, Frank. My post at that time still stands!

not exactly pink in picture, but it's pink under certain light condition.
