does anyone has experience with this one?

I rooted several cuttings of many kinds from UCDavis, and this one, I thought it was dead, well, it came up alive and has a cute fig on it... it is just a year old, but looks very good.  Rainy here today, they are under a hoop house. tomorrow I will get to show the pictures. I know I am to abort them, but  I am too curious to see what these new figs look and taste like.

Grasa...glad your Rattlesnake Island Fig took for you...I rooted a couple last season, but too young to produce edible figs yet...the tree comes from the Sacramento River Delta, near San Francisco, so it should do well in the Pacific Northwest climate...good luck with yours.

I rooted 3 or 4 last year and kept one. It is very small and is growing slowly. I expect to get good growth this year but don't expect figs until next year at the earliest.

Wasn't this a BT or Brunswick variety?

Always looked like a Brunswick to me. Always been a very slow grower here and in OC.

Does anyone here know for certain whether this one is a common fig?  I thought I remembered hearing that this one requires the wasp to ripen figs... maybe I'm mixing it up with another variety with a "cool name" though.  Anyone know for sure?  (I guess the acid test would be if anyone growing where there is no fig wasp has gotten ripe figs without having fertilized them manually).

Another thread with some good info:

And as for my question about caprification, I was remembering a different cool-named variety (Zidi).  Subjective of course about "cool named", but Rattlesnake Island and Zidi were both in the same post/query... here's the reference:
