These yellow figs varieties seem to be different:

Tashkent: Described as a green fig on the Raintree website but if you look at the Google Images it shows large, flat                   yellow figs for sale in the Tashkent market. Are these the "heavy golden figs"?

Seri Zeybek: Is this the same as Tashkent or different? It’s mentioned in several posts here.

Aydin Sari Lob: for sale on eBay. But the F4F Varietal lists Sari Lob as the same name for both Smyrna and      
       Calimyrna, also yellow figs. Is “Aydin” a special place of origin or a kind of Sari Lob/Smyrna/Calimyrna?

And how different are these figs from LSU Gold, which also seems to be a large yellow fig?

Within that thread, it makes reference to another thread that had additional pictures of the same tree from the year before (2012 I think).

Good luck with your tree... Negronne is a nice variety, and so is Aubique Petite!

 All of my VDB limbs carry 5 lobe finger leaves now. You may get different leaf variation again when you transplant your young VDB.

I have seen Negronne with 1 lobe, 3-lobed, 5 lobed, and 7 lobed leaves. The 3-lobes are very distinctive for the variety, but certainly not the only ones they grow.

My Vista OL (Violette de Bordeaux) had single lov=bed leaves for about 5 years. I though I had mis-labeled it until it finally grew normal looking leaves.

  My Violette de Bordeaux which I think is also Negronne grew the same way as your Negronne with different leaves for a couple of years and resumed growing finger like leaves.

 I believe that your Nero 600M is also called Vallecalda.

Also have negronne that is a fair size that has all spade leaves and one branch with finger leaves. Will take pic in morning for a comparison. Strange how,this,happens. There is a tread on this topic on this forum somewhere lol. Richie from louisiana

Very curious looking. Negronne is famous for its finger leaves. The spade leaves look like something else.
The figs look right though.
