Sal's Sicilian White from Belleclare begining to ripen

Here is a picture of a Sal's Sicilian White from Belleclare beginning to ripen. I'll post a pic of the interior when it is fully ripe.

Oh yum Scot, waiting to hear more.

This might have been picked a little early.

Sorry to say I was not impressed  by just he looks of this fig.
I hope that its (good?) taste makes up for looks...
Any idea what the BC# may be (see attached file).

Gorgi, It appears to be #85 on your Belleclare list. When I bought it from the Nursery in 2004-2005 it was a small plant, maybe a foot tall. It wasn't on the list at that time. It was a throw-in with the other fig trees that I bought that day. It's a large sweet fig with a little crunch. Skin is a little thick, but not really rubbery. Open eye is a bit annoying. It ripens well for me in a pot here in zone 5. Its growth habit is a bit unique as it likes to 'weep' instead of growing upward if left unattended. PM me if you would like a couple cuttings later this fall.
