Hello!
Please help me properly identify these two varieties.  The first fig is medium/large greenish/yellow when ripe with a center that I would describe as strawberry in color and sweet.  This variety only has 1 main crop that ripens in late August to early September in Zone 7A.  This fig tree originated from Sicily.

Any assistance in helping me identify this variety would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

Here is the second variety.  Like the first variety, this is also a medium/large fig and I would classify as sweet.  The dominant leaf pattern is definitely a 5 lobed leaf that is very pronounced.  This fig is a shade or two more yellow than the first variety.  I would say the inside of the fig is more of an amber color on this variety.  This variety also originated from Sicily.  

Any assistance in helping me properly identify this variety will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all,

After looking at several other Sicilian White pictures on the Figs 4 Fun Forum, the Fig in post #2 definitely appears to be a Sicilian White.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what kind of Fig tree is in post #1?  Thanks again.

My opinion,is that first plant is the same plant as second plant and both are Sicilian white.
The difference in shape of leaves ,it can be a different strain,or ,the first tree found more water ,deep in the ground,while second plant has surface roots ,and no tap root.
They are related, one way or the other.
Happy gardening
