Sefrawi figs

This is a fig that originated in syria, known as Sefrawi or Sfirey. It has been growing in my area for many years. tree hasn't been protected and it still made figs on current year growth. 
These figs have stunning light yellow skin. You can see green fig changing to yellow as they ripen. It has a nice jammy flavor, it's very delicious. It has the drop of honey as it ripens.
I've been waiting to get this variety for years, one day I'll write down the store of how I finally found it.

Elin. I would the leaves but they all froze and fell off.

Looks like a nice fig

Nice fig! I love the soft yellow with the amber to red color in side. You said it had been growing for many years, is it a slow grower then? Or do you think it was because it was unprotected?

it seems to be a vigorous grower, had a lot of figs on current year growth that sprouted from the ground. 

Nice fig, but look like Exel fig

It does somewhat look like the picture of excel you posted with slight differences.

Can't wait to hear the story.

Yes Bass, what's the story? Both the cuttings you sent me rooted and are thriving in a one gallon size pot, but need a great story to go with a (hopefully) great fig.
