Strawberry figs

Is this fig really called a Strawberry Fig? If not, does anyone know what it is called? There is a shot with the leaf in there also. She's a beauty!  Check out that gorgeous red flesh!

Hey Sarah

yes, that is one scrumptious fig platter being served up for sure! some nice recipes, and a fig-topped pizza as well.

Yes, it looks like the verte figs I grow.

Thanks, Bass.  Is the Verte the same as the Green Ischia or similar?  Do you grow both to compare?  I see that some people call in the Strawberry Verte.  Would this be it's real name?
I'm quite smitten with this beauty.

They say they're the same fig, Green Ischia, Verte, Strawbery verte, Strawberry fig, and a few others... I'm growing all of them just in case they're not the same fig. 

Just check this link, just caught my attention, around post five, I think it is the same fig

"Strawberry" is a very generic name for many fig varieties with red interiors, so it is not all that specific or definitive. A local farm stand even sells Celeste under the "Strawberry" name.

Here is my Strawberry fig side by side with Paradiso.

I have some green ischia cuttings rooting well. cant wait to taste the fruit a few years down the road they look wonderful in all the pics i have seen. the only figs i have eaten was brown turkey (not sure it is a brown turkey as the color is differant from the pics) which was very rich and sweet. hady chicago wich i like and purple magnolia wich was very bland but it was a first year fruit on a first year tree so time will tell with that one. my desert king trees should have fruit this year as well. and i have several dif kinds going in ground in spring (thanx guys) about 17 new ones for me.
