More figs to identify!

[Mieke]

These are my other figs (see previous post). They are humongous dark purple figs, they ripen about a month later than the other figs, normally late September, now mid-October. The leaves are also HUMONGOUS (I didn't realise until I took one to shoot). Their skin is more leathery and less soft, the flavor is very mild (this year almost non-present, too much rain, not enough sun).

I am located in the South-West of France about an hour from Bordeaux land inwards. The previous home-owner planted these, she was from Scotland but also lived in China and Spain so ehr... could be from anywhere.

Added a 50 euro cent coin to give an idea of the size.

Oh thank you, that could be the one. I'm doing a deep dive into varieties.

No, what I ment was that it's a Mt Etna type, that there are many similar varieties to that type which can look and taste similar. For example, these are some Mt Etna type of varieties.
