Hello & welcome! Congratulations on your tree fruiting already! Im not an expert but the name "Turca" sounds like its a turkish fig. Good luck & hope some of the pros chime in.

Thank for the infomation.
That means one of the Turca = Brown turkey.
I'll keep update my fruit development for a couple of week either it will change to black or green as you say it.

There are many collectors in Malaysia that are growing cultivars acquired directly through Mr. Montserrat Pons. Gabriel Bibiloni has Turca growing on his property located in Son Llobet, Algaida.

That means it never get riped here in malaysia? Cause in our country don't have a wasp for pollinate the fig. But in here, some collector already have a turca fig who bear a fruit until riped. With regular size & black color.
