Since February I have been eyeing this tree in the neighborhood , waiting to see when it would start throwing some ripe bombs...well, last week I was passing by the area and saw the entire family at harvest action... I stopped the car and asked if I could have a particular one that I chose from the tree to photograph...The older gentleman helped me with a smile...here's is the pictures...
If possible, can anyone ID this fig please?

               

Again another nice find.

Nice!

We all agree, it's nice!

Wow such good productivity. A good find and beautiful color.

Aaron your the man!!!

Aaron, you did not get any history from the owner?

Beautiful fig, different leaf.

Thanks everyone.

It tasted really refreshing and juicy, not syrupy but sweet and very aromatic, no acidity at all, with a good crunch.
I don't know if it is a BT or something else... I have never seen BT in person.

Ed, they are new tenants and hardly know how to speak English. When I kept asking what variety is it they kept saying it's a Fig...I just stopped talking.
 
Overall, I enjoyed the refreshing taste and was impressed with the size of the fruit.

I was passing by the house with the tree few days ago and decided to check on the tree.
It has set new set of figs that are getting bigger...
When would all these figs ripen?
Or will they ever...

   

I'm definitely getting cuttings when she is dormant!

Sure they will!
My last figs got ripe in December last year.
It is still summer outside :)
One week after it is over, the Spring arrives!

it will be nice to see it without its leaves.. I wonder how those long branches are in upright growth?

Nice to see the whole family enjoying the fig harvest. They are fortunate to move into a home with a mature and productive tree on the property. The fig looks tasty too.

Hi,
From the ribs and flesh, this fig could be a smyrna type or "black mission" for me. This is not a BT, as ripe BT is brown ... But just that one fruit could be off color.
It seems to me that the owners have already trimmed that tree ... for the lawn mower driving but next harvest might be more tricky for them.
The problem with such trees is that they make the ground dirty from the falling spoiled fruits and attract yellow jackets and a lot of things that you would like to keep outside of your property ...

In your zone Aaron4usa, you could have started with cuttings in July. I'm in Zone7 and I do and always did. Just ask for one and 2 years old branches.
On such mature and slow growing trees, a branch of 30 or 40 centimeters is likely to have them both. Taking 2 or 3 should be enough to get a new tree started.

On such encounters, I always try to pack it all at first time . Most of the times when asking to get back, it will not happen ... as some people even happen to kick the bucket in between ... Ask or read the post of Snaglpus about getting back :) .

yes...JD, I remember that story of the Italian family, LOL
We'll see how this one goes..

   You may be able to do several of the following steps on line. If you don't know the current owner's name, go to your county auditor (or equivalent office) with the address. Ask for the parcel number. Take the parcel number or name to the county recorder and ask to see the most recent deed transfer. Find the grantor's name. Find the grantor. Ask him the history of the fig. Send the history along with cuttings to me.

Dale,
I have a cousin who is in Real Estate business... all she needs is address and from the Software she can figure out who the current owner is. ...or even the past owners.

** I never had problem sharing cuttings, you should know that by now :)

I have this one swelling up. Amazing how mine looks just like it first year and not pollenated. Its getting big and picking up more color everyday. I will take sone pics of it in the morning but its not ripe yet
