Just wanted to get the forum back on track with some actual pictures of figs and sharing information about different varieties.

This is a Hungarian variety named Brown Plate. Nice looking fig, great taste, vigorous (grew 6 feet this year), mid to late season, and apparently cold hardy like most Hungarian varieties. I can't say for sure in San Diego but it definitely drops leaves later than all other non Hungarian varieties. I will have cuttings as soon as all the leaves drop.










There are more pictures below in a follow up post

Yes, Brown Plate is different from Black Plate, it is a brown fig.  I posted pictures of it previously if I remember correctly.  No Dry On The Tree Green, sorry.

How is Black Plate treating you?  Any figs yet?

That looks very nice padsfan. I got a Hungarian unknown in trade this year, which are just starting to work out. I'm very excited that they have started to open lead buds.
