If someone offers you an unknown fig variety don't decline the offer. It could turn out to be a brown turkey or just something so unique.
This fig originated in North Africa. It's turning dark now, I'm keeping it in the cool greenhouse. It may not develop properly.

Great-looking figs. Seen similar figs from North Africa and they usually get a lot bigger than the ones posted.

Thanks Otmani, Looking forward to get this tree to grow into an actual tree. Right now it's only about 10" tall with 3 figs and all 3 have that form. Coop, it got figs, but I'm sure they're not gonna be nearly as good as summer ripening.
