She also said that fig 2 has greenish brown skin. She was not sure about fig 1.

Aloha, Jeri. Good to see someone else from the most beautiful place on the planet, (at least in my eyes). Fig 2 looks like a variety I have, Kadota, although with the immature figs, I can't be certain. Fig 1 looks surprisingly like a fig tree that I found growing in Pearl Harbor. I still have no idea what variety it is, but cuttings that I obtained are growing vigorously. I hope to see fruits next year. Where in Hawaii are you located? Nate

Don't know if it could be kadota because she said the figs are brown when ripe. We are on the big island.

Also...my mom just assumed they were the same fig. I told her they might not be because even though the leaves are similar one produced figs on the old wood (fig 1)and the other produced on the new wood. She said fig 2 only gives her one crop a year ( the fig with figlets on the new growth) she wasn't sure about the other one....it is in a place that it is difficult for her to reach the figs. I will go back and watch the figs as they ripen. Anyway...before I started on this forum I just assumed they were either Kadota or brown turkey figs since that is what the majority of what is sold here but like I said...these figs have been there for 30+ years. I never paid much attention to them until I got bitten by the fig bug as I really don't care for the honey type figs and didn't know there were any other kind( although her fig jam is to DIE for!). I can't even say that I have had a fig off of these trees (which I certainly will rectify this year) The fig I made my basis for was from somewhere else. Sorry about the pics being sideways...couldn't figure out how to turn them.
