Fig Variety

Could someone help me identify a fig variety? I purchased three fig plants eight years ago. Last year I lost my most prductive tree, It dehydrated over the winter (Garage Storage) and never recovered. It ripened early, late Sept early Oct, here along the Connecticut coast, the figs were huge, green, with a light pink flesh. One of the two remaing trees is a purple fig with purple flesh also fairly large which ripens much later if at all. I still have the original ID tag on that tree which indicates Nero. The last tree is also a green fig which does not do well and the figs are also green but much smaller. Here's the thing, I would like to replace the tree I lost. As I recall the other two tree were marked Neveralla and Galbun. It has been my understanding that Neveralla is a purple fig. Is it possible that Neveralla can also be a large Greenish/Yellow
fig, similar to a Barese which can be both purple and white?
Thanks for your advice in advance! |

| It was probably Galbun. Galbun fits the description of the fig you mentioned (yellow/green w/pink flesh) |
