Is my fig a Brown Turkey or? (part 2, the tree and leaves)

NOTE: This is part two of my message asking for help on identifying my fig tree.

I originally grew the tree from a cutting taken from a tree in this area (Hillsboro, Oregon) but can find no information from the owners as to it's origin.

The tree seems to be a vigorous grower. Planted from a nine month old rooted cutting it reached about 15 feet and 8-10 inches in diameter in about ten years.

The five-lobed leaves shown in the photo repesent about 80% of the tree, but some branches have three-lobed leaves that otherwise look the same, and occasionally there are one-lobed leaves that are inverted tear drop shape.

I have rooted Negronne, Laturala, and Desert King and have concluded that my brown fig is harder to root than these others.

I forgot to mention a characteristic of the fruit in that it does not seem to be a good candidate for drying, at least not through my efforts.

Thanks again for any information or other help you can give me.

Joe
