Violetta?

Hi Everyone,
I finally got my tree labeled Violetta for produce a fig, I am not quite sure its truly a violetta..... Its still a great fig I am just curious about what it could be (maybe Bayenfeige ?). The leaves are all tri-lobed and it ripens later then my VDB. Any thoughts?

Its not VDB. NEVER SEEN VIOLETTA BEFORE. WILL HELP RESEARCH IT

The Black Madeira type is Violeta with one T. I have the same Violetta like yours, it's a type of English Brown Turkey.

From the leaves it could be Bayernfeige Violetta.   Mine hasn't fruited yet so I don't know for sure.

Maybe some one from Europe will comment since it is popular over there.

It is bayernfeige violetta. It produces very good breba

Good work Becky. I'm surprised that you got it to ripen this early, you must have had a jump start on the season. Many of the EBT variants have late ripening main figs, including BV.
Did you install your hoop house to extend the season.

Pino & Greenguy: Thanks for supporting the Bayernfeige violetta... thanks what I have been thinking!

John: We had such a warm winter I was able to get it out of hibernation early! It produces a lot of figs, we will see if they all ripen before the cold :). Can't wait for a green house, this variety could really use a green house environment because of the long period of time it takes to ripen.

IMO it could be Bayernfeige Violetta.
But Bayernfeige ist just a renamed English Brown Turkey.
It makes it not a bad fig but the renaming was just for commercial reasons to sell it even more expensive over here in Europe.
