One my neighbors in NC gave me 2 trees.  He is Filipino and doesn't speak English very well.  Needless to say I don't speak Filipino (is that even the name of their language?).  He called it a "white fig" (then said not really white) and his name is Corpus.  He showed me the Mother tree, which is a good 15 ft tall with  at least an 8 inch trunk.  I will have to get a picture next time I go down there.  Then he gave me 2 potted trees!  What a nice guy!  I put them in ground in NC and took cuttings in April.  It grew very well and put on figs, so I left 3 on there.  This is the last one, not fully ripe but nearly so.  By far the sweetest fig in my collection of very young (mostly first year) trees, and surprisingly so considering it ripened in relatively cool weather and on a tree started from a cutting in April.  Sweet with a nice fig flavor and a slight crunch.

If anyone has an idea of what it is I would love to know!

And most of the leaves have those 2 extra "nubs" on them.

Hi
Well I don't know but it sure looks nice and has pretty leaves so if it tastes good then it's a keeper for sure.

Philippine language is called Tagalog.

It's a completely seedless fig, how interesting.
We should definitely try this variety in different states ;)

Thanks for sharing the pics Phil.

Phil, are you able to find out if the tree came from the Philippines with him, or did he get it here?

Thanks for the info on the Filipino language, Aaron.  I have no problem distributing it but really would like to know what it is.  There is enough confusion in fig names.

Phil,
you are welcome, I work with a lot of Philippines, hard working people...most f'em are in Health Field.

Name the fig with Unk or Unknown prefix then we can all sort it out together.

Good question Rich, I will ask him next time I get down to NC.

LOL   kidding!  :X

Hi drphil69,
My two cents on Brunswick, for the fruit and the leaves .

Did someone attack the bank of Brunswick figs ? I'm seeing more of those lately  :)

I thought the same jds, except the eye is really tight.  My Brunswick and many I've seen have a large open eye.  The color of skin, size, pulp and leaf shape are pretty much spot on with a Brunswick, though. Perhaps a variant of Brunswick?  Dr. Phil, does the fruit split or sour in rain (or does the owner know)?

I have several Brunswick in the yard and the leaves on this fig do not resemble the leaves on my trees. My Brunswick have have long skinny leaves but the leaves are basically straight along the sides of the fingers until you reach the end where they become more sculpted. The fingers are also narrower than those in the picture. Although the fruit is similar in color and shape, the eyes are more red and a lot more open than those in the picture.

I just love the leaves of this fig, and the fruit looks pretty good too, can easily weigh 70-100g.

Tagalog is the main dialect, but they have several. There is an authentic Filipino restaurant in Angiers NC called Bitter Melon that I recommend.

Thanks Brian, I will have to try it sounds interesting.

Brunswick

I belive it's brunswick.

Ok, 3 votes for Brunswick, 1 says the leaves don't look right.

On the leaves - the pics are from a cutting started in April, so maybe because they are young they are a little different?  Won't be sure until next spring I can see the mother tree in full foliage.

Thanks all for your ID help and comments!

I'm not an expert but the Bronswicks I have seen had light Brownis Red blush and Yello underlying skin color and Honey, sometimes even slightest hint of pink, pulp color. I don't know...

Sort'o like this one (I don't know whose picture it is, sorry for using with no permission)
