Can someone tell me what fig this is? It's an unknown variety. negronne, panache, ronde de Bordeaux, and angelos dark have been my favorites so far, but this one is rediculously good! It has a bright strawberry red interior!
Can anyone identify it?
Thanks

Is it also you're first fig by any chance? Just joking! It looks like a Celeste, they are small but delicious

I have Celeste, it's def not Celeste way more complex berry flavor, it's on the same level as my angelos dark, but richer and more intense, truly amazing, brought one to my father as well who keeps figs, he also agreed best fig he's ever had!

Do you have GPS coordinates for where you found it? :)

Justin it looks similar to my Malta Black, which looks similar to 100 other Mt Etna types :)

I agree with Nick. Probably a Mt Etna type.

You think? Nick it's up there with if not better than the angelos dark, better than my current favorite the panache as well! Really a awesome fig, it was sold to me as green ishia, which it is not, I was upset at first, and then I tasted it, actually so happy with it, whatever it is. It's an extremely small fig, is that typical of mt Etna types?
Thanks Nick

Looks like a Celeste variant. If so, then it grows very well and produces sweet delicious figs.

If you can't figure out which type it is, start some cuttings and offer them to others on the site.I would love to have one!

Thanks for the reply, I'm DEFINITELY going to start a bunch of cutting on this one, could hardly wait for the rest to ripen! Lol, and if interested I'll get you out a cutting as well, it's still a small tree hopefully I'll get some cuttings to give away!

The inside of the fig looks so good.

That is nice of you to send out cuttings.
