This is my Grandmother's tree. She has had it for five or six years. She can't remember for sure what variety but she believes it to be Negronne. This Spring she ordered a Negronne for me and I'll post pictures of my tree as well. From looking at pictures at the database and comparing it to my tree, I tend to believe it's a different cultivar. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I have both Negronne and VDB.
From your pictures it look closer to my VDB (though many people think of VDB and Negroone as the same).
I wish my trees could grow like that in your first picture.

Same as Ottawan looks like my Vdb also.

Just my 2 cents. Looks like my VDB and my young figs have a reddish tint like yours does.

Awesome, I'll let her know. Glad I started an air layer a few weeks back. Her tree is a very vigorous grower, it's well over 12 feet tall and has about a 15 foot spread, less than two years removed from a 15 gallon container. Thanks for the help. Charles
