What variety is this?

I bought two of these from a Memphis, TN area nursery.  The tag calls them "King Arthur" figs but I haven't found that variety anywhere I have looked.  They do look a bit like the "King" variety but I was wondering if anyone had an idea what variety this is:

bump...no one knows?

To better help you.
Can you help narrow it down? Is it breba only? Is it common fig, ie breba and main?

Not an expert but I would lean towards King ( Dessert King ). Assuming it is breba only.

Good luck

Forgive my ignorance, but what does "breba" mean?

Max , this is from Jon's site:

Breba

Fruit produced on wood which grew in the previous season. Also called "profichi" in Italian. Also known as the Spring crop.

[FT538-13] [FT989-71]

Breba producing varieties are important in cool and short season climates, and may be the only crop that ripens in those climates, such as the Pacific Northwest.


Is this a great site or what.  Not only do you learn a wealth of knowledge about figs but you can pick up a little Italian along the way.

LoL

Wow, I will have to go look and see.  The trees are only in their second season so they don't have much wood yet.

LMAO

They are breda...fruit on the old wood.
