I hate continuing to post mainly asking for ID help. But I am very new to the fig obsession. I am spending some time looking at surround neighbors for fig trees that I could propagate. So here is are pictures of the latest find that I can't ID. At first I thought it was a Kadota, or what they sell as a "Banana" fig down here. But I haven't seen the pinkish-purple striping on these two figs before. The figs on this new tree are a little bigger than a gold ball. The figs attracted a ton of bees and wasp. The taste was rich, with a brown sugar taste. Thanks for looking!

I don't know the name, but it definitely looks like it is worth propagating! __________________ Casey Battle Ground, Wa /Zone 8a

Thanks. Alma does fit, and I can't believe that I didn't think of that. The embarrassing part is that I bought an Alma for 50% off, with unripe figs, just yesterday. And still didn't think of it. Thanks again. __________________ Texas (N. Houston area) - zone 8b Wish List: Figo Preto, Col de Dame Blanca-Negra, Deanna, Strawberry Verte, Violette de Sollies, LSU Red (new)
