Welcome to the forum.

Maybe Conadria or Adriatic?

Thanks Mike. I was thinking white adriatic also....a lady down the street gave me the plant 5 years ago..its about 10 feet tall tons of fruit that ripen end of July. It gets darker pink in the middle when its ripe and is really sweet. Took a bunch of cuttings with me to Arizona and got 10 rooting fine. Just wondering if a fig pro can ID it for me. I love the original tree...hope i can grow it in the desert. If any members can give me tips on growing in the Phoenix area it would greatly be appreciated.

Mike, Don't get mad at me but definitely not Conadria. Also -- were you looking for Brogiotto Nero?

Also doesn't look like my Adriatics. I will look at my stuff more but -- raining heavily right now,
