i still think you have a brunswick.
here is a description from durio nursery that matches your fruit/leaf pics and even its cold hardyness.

""Brunswick [magnolia / madonna / dalmatian / brunswig / khurtmani] - A good, medium to large sized tasty fig with attractive, deeply lobed leaves.  The skin is reddish brown and the flesh is amber to strawberry colored.  It is a vigorous, very hardy (known to survive 5 degrees Fahrenheit without damage) tree with a light breba crop.  The rich, sweet flavor is best when the flowers are pollinated.  The figs are good fresh or preserved.  This is one cultivar that is worth growing for the ornamental value alone.  Because the fruit may spoil if it is excessively wet during ripening, this clone is best grown in the Southwest or other areas where it remains dry during this time.  Reportedly the finest fig grown in Israel.  Fruit oblique-turbinate.  The leaf has a calcarate base and lineate lobes."



compare to pics in post #20 and #13

very nice looking fig, i also have a jurupa but no ripe figs yet.
one  thing i would do is add a nice 4-6" layer of mulch, not only does it keep the soil moist longer but also help to regulate the soil temp.

i have 2 year old lynnhurst white in a pot and had some ripe figs over the winter indoors and they were very big and sweet.
now its has about 10-15 big green figs on it and is in full sun still potted, hopping for a sweet fig again.
the leafs are very thick and leather like and do not wilt even in the hotter days unlike many of my other potted figs.

So if i understand correctly in locations where the fig wasp is not present, ideal one would want figs that are 1=clearly persistent, requiring no pollination?
I have a couple of zidi plants about 1 year old pot grown and one has 6 main crop figs on it.
definitely no fig wasps in Ohio :)

also they both originated in Italy, too many coincidences.
my conclusions come from growing these 2 cultivars in similar conditions for 4 years.
similar situation as Quarter Pound fig and Brunswick exact same figs!

I think it would be great to add what figs require caprification.
not all of us are stuck in San Diego :)
