I named this one Unknown Jasmine white 
I got the cuttings from my brother  he as lost the original
when vary ripe its like sugar and vary sweet just melts in your mouth
juicy not watery
one of my earliest figs main crop figs in first week of July in the last couple of years 

 This other one i call it Unknown Vince Coffee man
go tit from the Coffey truck driver from the Job site hes an older Italian man that
got it from Italy I tried getting more information from Him but he was always in a bit of a hurry to get to is next site
its a vary nice solid fig looks like Strawberry Jam inside and tastes almost like it
the tree as Mosaic but is a vary good producer
main crop middle of August

the last one I got from a follow named John he sell figs not to far from me he as this huge tree I never seem to find him at home to talk to him and ask him about the history of the tree it also came from Italy that's about all |I can remember from my first meeting with him
the fig is absolutely one of the best tasting figs i have in my collection The taste and texture is just amazing vary sweet and smooth
on Goats cheese and a cracker its something like not of this world the wife  calls it heavenly 

this is the longest post I have written ever I apologize 
please enjoy the pictures

Thanks

The first fig seems very similar to Marseilles fig, Which is also a very early fig.

Looks like white marseilles to me, I have some starter plants that have grape size figs but they won`t ripen this year but next year they should. I am hoping that these are the same figs that I grew up eating in northeastern Portugal, yours are the same fig, I have pictures somewhere with these figs that I took in 2009 when I find them I will send them to you so you can compare them.

i checked out ficuscarica.com and thought the first variety, a Campenella looks alot like the third. I tried to track down some photos of the leaves, but i don't speak Italian so had no luck. http://www.ficuscarica.com/carica/a%20campanella.html


Just a shot in the dark.

First four pics looks like Lemon/Blanche/Marseilles to me.

Last couple of pictures looks like one of the half dozen or so Brown Turkey variants to me.

Mario....I would be thrilled to get any cuttings if you do have excess when the time comes.  Of course I can pay the shipping, etc.   Just let me know.

Perhaps with the sharing of cuttings we can figure out what cultivar the plants are.

Thank you, Sara
