I spotted this tree last Fall but at that time it had no figs. |

The leaves and fruit shape are similar to a "Desert King" tree that's growing in my neighborhood, the inside lacks that purple ring but that may just be because it wasn't caprified. |

Hi Igor, if it's Desert King, those must be caprified main crop. Were there signs of brebas still. DK makes a lot of them. Here is a pic of a local DK, not caprified. |

Thank you, Gary, for the photo. That is what I suspected but there were no breba left on the tree to check how red it would be. The outer darker rings indicate the pollination. I have not seen a caprified DK before, that might be it! I can say that the main crop was very tasty! |

Those leaves look exactly like the leaves on my Desert King. Can't speak for the fruit though as mine hasn't bared yet. |
