I have been eye-ing this tree since January of 2013, but in 2014 January, I got my first cutting from it and it's now in ground and , surprisingly, took right away and growing nicely.
I asked the lady who knew very little english and she managed to tell me that they moved to this house last year and have been eating the figs since last harvest season... They are from Egypt but they don't know the origin of the tree in their front yard. She personally didn't care much about this variety because a Good fig , in her mind, should be one from Egypt....OK! So, she described this fig as Dark purple with Red interior With white spots...It sounded interesting , so I asked for a cutting. She generously offered as much as I would need.

   

To be continued... (have a test today!)

Wow - with that trunk that must be an old one!  I'm glad the new owners appreciate their "new" tree!

I must say I really enjoy the photo of that trunk. "Venerable" comes to mind.

It's not VDB.  That is a huge tree.  VDB is a dwarf variety.  Would be nice if you posted leaves and figs.......  oh well, It's too big to be VdB.  Maybe Black Mission?

Update Followup:

It was last week, when I decided to stop by and check upon the tree and hopefully see some fruit setting on it. I actually needed to know if this tree is a Bifera or Unifera.
So, I went and saw a guy (arabic speaking) was smoking outside under the tree. I approached to the fence and asked him if I could take some pictures of this majestic tree..well, all my perfectly selected english words meant nothing for a sec, He knew only Welcome and Come in... This was the husband of the lady who had just arrived to US few months ago...from Egypt.
He was very inviting and typical of a model MiddleEaster mannerism, very polite towards a stranger. I managed to explain the nature of my visit and he said ...do what you want until I come back...or something of that nature. So, I started to take pictures and turn leaves and branches to examine the ripe fruit and others...Turns out that this tree was a Bifera, I was finding some very few left behind Brebas and lots of Green, main crop figs on the tree.
Few minutes later this Mister comes out with a tray with freshly brewed Black tea, and Fig Preserves in tiny glass plate with a tiny silver fork...I spent pleasant few more minutes and thanked him for everything including the opportunity for taking the pictures. It really felt good to see people still getting excited for a visiting total stranger...who would've thought, in Burbank out of all places.
Is anybody familiar with this fig or help ID?

Thanks for Posting, It looks like a Black Mission.  My daughter had 3 Brebas, she said were sweet....... Harvey had a few good ones...... My Black Missions are not doing well. I saw some good ones in the neighborhood and alleys...LOL  They look to be ready in about 3 weeks.

I think it is a Black Mission as well. Have quite a few trees around on the streets and the figs look very similar, the taste is very good.

it was very sweet... actually, now that I am comparing with Harvy's new posts on brebas...it has a shorter neck and purplish-red (not rust red) color inside.
Here's my little one in ground, it's the baby of this mother tree from last January cutting that the lady gave me.

 

Aaron,

This is a nice find.
Looks a delicious black breba... tell us about taste please !
?
Black Spanish (California Brown Turkey, San Pedro): This cultivar yields medium-sized, purplish-brown fruit with a red center. Black Spanish has an eye open. Fruit ripen in June and in August.
? is it ?

Francisco

Hi Francisco, the taste was of a perfectly ripe (caramel) fig, I would rate it easily over 9 on scale of 10 sweetness. It tastes nothing like juicy fresh fig, it tasted like a raspberry sugar candy.
although , not that it has anything to do with the taste or overall quality, the tree was showing very heavy FMV ;/
Size...
I don't have big hands.
I think Brown Turkey is much bigger fig.

 

I found this site where they are mentioning both Black Mission and Violet de Bordeaux...Iwas comparing with Black Spanish also but I'm leaning towards Black Mission, what do you all think?

I enjoy reading your SoCal fig adventures.  Keep them coming!

Thanks guys :)

Agreed with the folks , love the fig adventures!

Thats a good story and the fig tree is very interesting. 

This is a must to have fig variety guys...really good fig to start the base covered.

you don't need wasp for this one Shailesh, it's just that wasps improve the taste.
