So, the Fig Tree in the back yard was indeed bearing fruit !
It's definitely hard to get to, what with the poison ivy, deep Boston ivy, and the #*#*# mosquitos back there, but I knew - tonight - I had to go look. About 7' up were some figs ! I picked about 5, trudged out of the morass, and made my way back to the kitchen (only 4 mosquito bites).
I ate four, and shared one with intrepid R. Wonderful !
At http://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/pdfs/fig_information.pdf, it mentioned our version -
KADOTA FIG: Large, light greenish-yellow 'white' skin, amber flesh. Longlived,
vigorous. Prune to any shape. Very sweet fruit needs hot weather to
ripen. Fresh/dry/can. 100 hours. Self-fruitful.

I can't wait to harvest more and make something (although just out-of-hand is going to be hard to beat).
