Unknown Belleclare Nursey fig trees

Good day, I have several fig trees that came from BC nursery.  I've got 2 that are were in tiny little 16oz cups; one is called BC GM# 9 and BC GM# 14.  Both are 3 year old trees now.  Both are getting pretty tall.  They did not fruit last year but grew quite well.  However, this year is another story.  One now have figs and look awesome.  The weather here has been in the 70s and 80s so I planted both in my orchard last weekend.  BC GM #9 has figs.  BC GM #14 does not.  Does anyone have these figs?  If so, could you please post some pic including fruit.  I realize it may be too early because the leaf pattern on #14 is just coming out.  I am curious if anyone else has these figs.  I know #14 is a purple fig because the cup stated it so.  Time will tell.  I think #9 is a Parasido bronze.  Here are the pictures.  Enjoy.  thanks for reading.  Enjoy your day!  cheers,

Some correction(s):


GM#9 did NOT come from BC!
It was originally an 'unkown' fig discovered by me  in my local town.
It later turned out to be a 'Paradiso' fig, the green-skin/red-pulp kind...

GM#14 DID come from BC, but just an 'unkown-purple' fig.
It was given to me by Chris D. himself as such ...

Thank you Gorgi!  About 3 years ago, I purchased a lot of small fig trees from a guy East of me in NC.  All came in stryrofoam cups with the name and number on the cup.  I will change my label on my tree to "Parasido GM #9".  I also bought a Sal's fig from this gent.  I still have the cup it came in.  It's labeled "Sal's Fig Corleone-BC #31 dated 7-28-09. Thanks again for clearing this up for me.  Ok, I get it now!  GM are your initials!  Cool!
