Will do. The tree is tiny, but it has like 15 figs on it. 

Sorry for the spelling error in the pic.  Francisco, feel free to help identify this one. UNKmaderia.JPG

Thanks guys. Until its properly I.D. I'm calling it "Portuguese Black and Tan".  Its a large semi-sweet fig with a light nutty note.  It is a unique tasting fig with leaves and fruit production amounts very similar to Black Madeira. I think originally it may have been a seedling from a BM due to the similarities, but that is just a guess. I was hoping Francisco could offer some help with I.D since he knows a lot about the Portuguese varieties.  

I'll get some more pics of fruit later.
