Hunt is usually darker color skin than that, but that's what tickling my figgy sense.

Where are all the pros. Only one responce;-) its still early yet.

They might be at a fig fest or in the garden :)

Hello Dave,
IMO, the picture doesn't have enough details (Leaves and Fig) to make an ID, at best it would be a guess, and personally I have none, but from your written description it sounds like a Celeste ; )

This was sold to me as a brown turkey almost 5 years ago by willace orchard. Last year I sent them some pics and they said they thought it was a pete honey. Or I think kadota was the other they said it might be. The did however send me another brown turkey.

A yellow celeste?

Dave,

    I can't help, but if it is hardy in zone 6, for selfish reasons, I hope you get your answer.

I'm hoping to find somthing on this. They guy said it was ether petes honey, kadota, or some adriatic kind. It still taste wonderful kinda of a honey tast but a little more complex. A friend had a few and describbed it like tapioca pudding. Hope this helps.

Oh an up date if it stays on the tree to long it splits a bit at the eye.

Dave,
Without a few more pictures, I would say it may be a Peters Honey or Kadota. Both these figs are in the same family Dotatto. Usually tough skins and amber Pulp. Adriatics usually have dark red pulp. Peter's Honey sometimes have distinctive 3 lobed leaves.
Good Luck.

I also ordered a brown turkey and white kadota from willis orchard 5 years ago. They both produced figs for the first time this year and neither one was what it was supposed to be?? This is a common problem with them.
