Fig tree ID please

strelitzia32 · June 2020

Can anyone ID my mystery fig tree please? It was donated, so no label or clue. I thought it was brown turkey, but now I have plenty of ripe figs it's clearly not. The fig on the tree is fully ripe (even slightly over ripe), so that's the final appearance. Top half green, bottom half green/brown, larger than a golf ball. Thanks!

They don't look too unlike Brown Turkey...but wonder if we have a fig specialist among us 😉 https://www.specialtyproduce.com/produce/Brown_Turkey_Figs_6572.php

That's interesting. I've never seen a brown turkey fig like that link, and you're right it does look a little like mine. However mine is far more green, larger, and doesn't have the dark purple coloring I'd expect from brown turkey especially when very/over ripe.

The brown turkey figs that I'm used to are more like this:
