On most phone cameras in the settings you can reduce the resolution when taking the pics to make them smaller and more web friendly.

So my friends tree is LOADED with figs now! In fact, figs started showing up way back in late January. She sent me another picture of the figs on her tree & invited me to pick as many as I wanted!!! Just to recap, this tree has been at this property for many years. She & her family moved in about 2 or 3 years ago so they inherited the tree :-). I hope to go there soon & take day time pictures to show u guys just how huge this tree is. The figs are green outside and pink inside. I asked my friend to take a pic on a sliced fig. Although its not yet ready, i wanted to post updates. Any idea what type?

Fruit from my friend's massive tree! Its at least 40-50 years old she says. The fruit is quit large. She likes to eat her figs unripe but they are huge! I couldnt upload the pic of the tree...too large & i need to resize.

40 years fig tree is indeed huge. 
I envy your guys in the mild winter area. no need to protect the trees too much. :):)
also trees have longer growth season.

The Scicilian White Bifera, has similar figs. You should get five lobes on an older tree.

Wow! Those figs are huge. I'm trying to imagine a tree with that trunk, loaded with ripe hand-sized figs, and not salivate. And can't. Beautiful figs. What kind of flavor does a ripe one have?

My guess is it's a big green fig with pink inside.

Amiright?
