Looks like. A black Genoa to me.

Crack? At the bottom?
When they ripen that’s where they open up.

I love mine fresh off the tree when they just crack a little. Very sweet at that stage.

Hi Linh1,

It's a black Genoa, a common type growth in Australia. It has 2 crops per year. Breba is a small crop but bigger fruit (elongated shape) produced in spring on the older wood. The main larger crop is produced in late summer on the new seasons growth.
When the moisture is high the ripe fig may be cracked. It happens when overwater or rain occurs. If you can control/reduce the water then it will help. Cheers.

Thank you so much for your answer. So it’s black Genoa, I thought it was Brown Turkey. I still have some other varieties, I will take photo and ask you again, thank you.
