Hey fig experts, earlier this year I rooted some clippings from some very nice forum members, I perhaps mislabeled them and was wondering if you can help me out.

This was labeled Osborn Prolific but I could have mixed it up with a  Troiano calabrese

What do you think of this? all I can say is it is a large fig and the tree is a very fast grower, over 6ft in one season.

Any chance it was Oregon Prolific? I think that one's in the Marseilles/Italian Honey/Latarulla group.

I have an Italian honey, very slow grower and the leaves are different, this tree is a very aggressive grower, very large figs.

I put three different cuttings in a big container and labeled them but obviously I labeled them wrong. There was also a Dessert King in that container.

I went through my emails, I think I found it, this is probably a Deanna fig, according to this, it is a very fast grower  http://givingtrees.co.za/specialist-tree-growers/fig-database-list/item/deanna

Hi PeterC,
there are some "italian honeys" that have figs like this one.
This is not Osborn prolific for sure, nor DK.

I dont know why I am obsessed with knowing the names and labeling, most people I know, they look at me like I am crazy when I ask the name and where they come from.

I guess i am fig obsessed....  So you guys dont think it is a Deanna?  Very large leaves, the largest I have seen out of all my fig trees

I am going with Deanna. See those little spikes in the inside fingers. Looks like one to me.

Too bad I can't post photos. Deanna is a yellow fig with a golden center. It is very sweet and delicious.

Thanks for the help, I have now four of these, one inground and three in pots, maybe down the road I can trade one or two for another variety
