I dare you. Name this fig.







Found on local side street. Home owner can't identify and neither can I. The large figs like the one pictured (62 grams) and very jammy (parts were almost gelatinous)  and lightly sweet except the seeds are dry. The small soft ones were drier and astringent (see below lowest pic.) They were tasted by 3 people whose comments were individually Mango, Banana or light plum. Is this a Capri? or Capri like?   Multiple figs on each fruiting branch. Please any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Noel
 BTW The smaller split fig with light tones while soft, is the dry astringent one. We have had intense heat lately which may have effected fruit ripening.

Possibly a persistent Capri fig however let's wait until Francisco chimed in.

Looks like a caprifirg.  Maybe name it "Roadside Gold".

Would this fig have interest to others if I could get cuttings this fall? I don't have a wasp fig growing yet. My cuttings succumbed to a 3 day weekend in the heat when I wasn't home to monitor them- bummed ;(   . Any other guesses or help would be appreciated.

If it turns out to be a persistent Capri fig then it would for people in Ca. They could breed new varieties with it

Good name for it "Moldy Bread" scientifically Ficus cara var. Penenicillium Pana Rrufus Tardus.
