Feels like Petite Negri to me.

I have to agree I just went into my  garage where I store the trees and there lays  a Petite Negri Tag in the corner
 Thanks for your answer it re assures me this is the right tree
 Thank you again

This seem to be the Petite Negri that got three lobe leaves.
I have a couple of Petite Negri and both got 5 lobes leaves,identical to Aubique Petite sold by Pierre Baud in France.
I am sure you got the real Petite Negri that was sold ,long time ago,before some nursery start selling,the figs I have as Petite negri.
Mean while I did acquired an unknown that is identical to yours,so I will sort them out very soon.

I found this mature tree locally that I believe to be Petite Negri. As I was approaching the front door I saw that there must have been 50 pounds of fruit spoiled on the ground below the tree and all ripening fruit on the tree was split. I decided to not bother the owner since they were obviously not happy with the tree, and I no longer wanted a cutting. I took one fig which was watery and bland and kept on hunting. But as you can see this tree produces both 3 and 5 lobed leaves.

Good find, keep us posted

That one I found was a sad case. A real shame too because it was so productive. Don't mean to scare anyone off the variety but I saw what I saw. Lets hope Pauls is a little different/better.

I know your asking Herman, but that looks like a Sicilian fig in the Sal's Corleone family
