Good day, today I picked a few more figs. I picked some Marseille VS, Martin's Unknown #17, Shar Italian, and my Atreano Gold (aka green turkey). Below are the pics. The sweetest was the Unknown #17. Man on man was it rich! A close second was my Atreano Gold followed by the MVS. The Shar Italian wasn't sweet. I think I picked it too late. I can not get over how soft and sweet the Atreano Gold fig is! My wife is my taste tester. SHe has not tasted this fig yet. I got 3 on the counter waiting for her to taste. I hope she makes it home soon! Yesterday I picked one Petite Negra and 2 Dark Portuguese figs. Both had excellent flavor, taste and richness. By far, this year the sweetest fig were Ronde de Bourdeaux, O'Rourke, Atreano Gold, Stella, Dark Portuguese, Petite Negra, GM #17, Blue Celeste, and MVS. HOW BOUT THOSE FIGSS!!!!!! Cheers!

Ciao, I just read your post, interesting and good for you getting your figs in the mouth and they are tasty. What is a Green Turkey? Is this a family to the brown Turkey Figs?? Just wondering, maybe I am not following the forums well. Very busy time of year for me. Ciao Ciao __________________ Maggie Maria zone 7

Hi Maggie, I have these 2 fig trees that I got from Home Depot 2 years ago labeled Brown Turkey. It's been in this same containter after I repotted into a 3 gallon beige container 2 years ago. This the first time they have fruited. This past winter I left both trees out unprotected outside all winter. These 2 trees were placed inside my greenhouse in Spring to see if they were alive and they were. Well, they grew very fast and was loaded with figs so I placed them on my covered deck. Now the figs are swelling and getting ripe! I was expecting them to turn brown but these turned light green and got soft like a ripe apricot. So, I posted photos of the tree and the fruit and leaves on this forum last week. The fruit is very sweet and skin is very soft. So, Bass said I should call it Green Turkey. So, I named it Green Turkey. Maggie look back at my last week's post on this fig tree and tell me what you think this fig is. I appreciated it. Thank you! Edit: The Green Turkey ended up being Atreano Gold. __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

I had the same question as Maggie. Dennis, your "Green Turkey" sort of reminds me of my "Unknown Hobart", http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/show_single_post?pid=41163225&postcount=13 __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8

Jason, I don't think they are the same. My Atreano Gold Fig has a tight eye. I ate two more figs today. Somemore will be ready tomorrow. I'll post so close up photos of the fruit and leaves tomorrow. cheers! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Who just showed us pics of a green unknown fig that looked like these? They were on the tree, not ripe yet. These look like them to me, which does no good because the other figs were unknown, too!

Hi Vivian, go here to see my original post on this fig: ID this green fig -- pictures The fruit is very pretty and has no scars of marking. It just sags, turns light green and swells when ripe. The taste is very refreshing. I need to give it some name for reference. thanks! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Ciao Dennis, see what I mean, not on much this days. I missed that post. I thought it was a relation or a beautiful green fig from Turkey!! Which Martins unknown is this, the one he got from Italy ( stick from friend who brought from Emilia Romagna) or the one he had that had a big fat trunk? I can't make out at the moment your green Turkey ! Ciao __________________ Maggie Maria zone 7

You could be right Maggie, you could be right. I have a large Atreano growing in a container. The leaves are different but the fruit does look the same. On my large Atreano, I have one fig that's almost ripe. In a few days, it will be ripe. Here are some more pictures I took moments ago of my Atreano Gold fig. I lived in Ankara Turkey years ago and wish I picked up a few cuttings while there. I may go back year to visit.

Hi Dennis, Thanks for the link. Those are not the pics I was thinking of. Someone had pics of another unknown. Was it Gene? The only pic on this link that looks like the ones I'm thinking of is the second pic, with the fig being shiny, but the pic I'm thinking of showed two figs. They had closed eyes. But never mind. I just thought about that other post when I saw the green figs of your post and couldn't find the post I was thinking of. Vivian __________________ noss/a.k.a.

Hi! Dennis, How are you? Thank you for posting very beautiful photos of your 2 Golden Atreano trees. Can you let me know if these 2 trees are the same trees from your previous post under the Golden Atreano thread? Thank you. Best, Tam

Greetings the other posting with very similar look as these are ones I possibly posted a few weeks ago. The funny thing is that these too were labeled Brown Turkey. After posting my UNK pix, most thought they were Conadria. Here is my original UNK posting.

Scot, Could you please post larger sized pictures, the thumbnails don't seem to enlarge. I'm interested in seeing your Belleclaire Atreano pictures to compare to the 4 different sourced Atreano cultivars that I'm currently growing. <edit>Thanks!
