Is there any "picture" chart, and/or someway to help to find out what is a possible way to identify what fig that we have ...  We are entering the last phase of our current season's pickings... One tree, planted on south-east side of residence....About 3 ft. away from wall of cinder blocks (footings)...
House wall of silver-gray siding... The fig tree is about 10 to 12 ft tall.
Our window of fruit picking is about over.... So far have picked at least 4 gallons, and need to pick again...
   The figs have very small seeds, about 1/16" in diameter.... My wife has made so far about 24 jelly jars full of "fig jam" ( to kill for )...

I do not know what the type of fig it is or where it came from....

So I'm looking for a good way to identify....

Any help is appreciated...

Joe B.

Post a pic of a representative leaf, and a fig sliced in half so we can see what the fig looks like inside.

I grow over 25 kinds of figs. I can possibly help if I see photos of the leaves and fruits.
