These are growing in SE Virginia, USDA zone 7b.

absolutely no idea. do google search for figs and ask somebody that sells the trees.

I *have* googled, but most images are simply labeled 'fig tree' or
'fig' and most text references that distinguish figs by name don't
provide pictures or descriptions of how to ID the different kinds.

Around here, fig trees aren't bought -- they all seem to be from
cuttings. My own tree is now a little over a foot tall in a pot. I
suppose I should get it into the ground soon.
