Unknown Brown Turkey

About

Large figs with brown Turkey like flavor and color, long finger leaves. This was sold to me as a VDB but it isn't that, I've grafted VDB onto it and the leaves are very similar but the figs are different, unfortunately genetics lineage is unknown.

Growing notes

Up against south facing fence, grows well and it's a productive tree.

Looks and tastes not unlike my Longue d'Août fig. Almost over ripe on the bottom and a little under ripe near the top, although I didn't get any sap when I picked it.
