Looking at all the evidence I think it is a white genoa, I was hoping for something a bit more exotic :(

Thanks to everybody that helped out, its a pleasure to be amongst helpful and knowledgeable people.

Hi Frank, the flesh is usually like that, sometimes a little more amber when picked earlier.

Also from your last pic, it sort of looks like the outside of yours has some brownish tinge in areas, is that correct?  Mine doesn't have that.  Although it could be due to different growing climates.


The skin is always green to yellow ting, we have had a lot of rain and hot weather just before picking this one and the skin had started to deteriorate

maybe white Genoa?White Genoa.htm


That's what I was thinking, the leaf shape looks identical to a small white genoa I have, but after talking to a commercial plant grower she told me that the white genoa prefers cooler climates and grows very slowly compared to black genoa and brown turkey but this tree is the opposite it grows faster and easily out produces a brown turkey and black genoa trees of similar sizes.

Hi Danny

Im in Brisbane, Australia,

The original mother tree originated from a cutting brought over from Italy about 30 years ago if that helps anything.
Don't know much about LSU gold but ill look it up.

Hi guys & girls

Been a long time reader first time poster, good to find other people with the same fig obsession that has me hooked.

Wanted some help identifying one of my dads fig trees.
