This past early spring I purchased a Desert King from a well established New Jersey fig grower. I am beginning to have some doubts as to weather the fig was mislabeled. I am attaching photos of the leaf pattern and a picture of one of the figs beginning to ripen. I was under the impression that the Desert King was a green fig. Because the grower is well respected in the fig community,I am sure if there it's a mistake, it was just that. We all make them. Than again I could be very wrong, as I am a total newbie and it could in fact be a Desert King. Thoughts on the photos please.

Definitely not a desert king but it looks like a nice fig. LOL

interesting looking fig but not DK.

LSU purple maybe!? We have to see what it looks like inside!! Thanks for sharing Dave!

That is Lsu purple

Yes,LSU Purple

I am still trying to ID a mislabeled Desert King. Picked the first fig, very tasty! Probably could have gone another day or two, but was drooping and soft. Before cutting most members thought perhaps a LSU Purple.

The interior looks like LSU purple as well.
