@figpig_66: hi,,..thanks for the info, it looks like RL but the inside is honey pulp..i dont have RL so i cant compare @smungung: thank you :) @herman2: do you have any picture of beall? Does it have honey pulp? In our country, it produce many fruits all season without pollination..because there are no figs wasp in my country

Yes it does,Beall has honey interior when not caprified.
Here is a pix of my own tree ,in 2008,while it was young.
It died because it is not cold resistant,and here we got cold Winters.
Trust me is totally amber ,honey inside.
Very, very,few red and purple fig trees are honey inside.

Hi,
My 2 cents on "Osborn Prolific". Mine is still to produce figs. But those pics look like pics I've seen for OP.

Thank you...the honey pulp look similar with neveralla (synonim osborn prolific)...what different between beall & osborn prolific? My fruit also have different shape sometime pyriform (with long neck) and sometime not

There is one way to ID one from other:
Beall is totally amber inside,while Neverella is amber too but has, darker reddish pulp ,only, close to the eye of the fig.
You can see Neverella in the link of Figwisperer.
Those pixies are of a genuine Neverella.
Also Beall has more BealFruit09 15RSCN0355.JPG  Beal.JPG  BealDSCN0312.JPG  reddish exterior color while Neverella is more brownish grey.
Here is Beall,one more redish fruit and interior cut open.
The interior will be darker honey if fruit is ripening in hotter climates,but never ,with reddish pigment close to the eye, like Neverella does !.

Hi Herman. It is interesting to know the different between beal and neveralla. Those honey pulp looks great. How about the sweetness and flavor? Do both have same taste?

Based your info, im confident that this is not beall because reddish pigment close to the eye, please see my picture below

I had both of them till 2008 Summer season,but I do not remember how they were different in taste.
All i remember ,is Beall was honey tasting here and very good,but not top class like Col de Dame Ital 258,or Preto.
Neverella was good but,also not top notch.
