Richie,
I can't tell from the wording of your posts if the tags/containers actually say Becnel on them or not. (Or did you actually buy them at the Becnel nursery?) If they are Becnel Italian Blacks, then those are supposed to be very nice heirloom figs from the state of LA. Perhaps the one labeled dwarf is from a tree that has been shown to have a tendency for compact growth. These sound like keepers.
Happy new year,
Jim
