The leaves look wrong for a Black Madeira, no?

Yes, you're right. They look nothing like mine and nothing like the pictures I've seen posted here.

hmm.  Maybe that is why it's so cheap for a Black Madeira on ebay.

Not like any of my BM.

The picture is my picture and not the seller's. It is NOT a picture of Black Madeira. Clearly a fraudulent misrepresentation.

That does not look like the Black Madeira. Thank you for posting.

he changed Buy it now from $140 to $80, he knows what he has, just trying to fish a Sucker...

NOT

I have a Black Madeira on Ebay now,and is the real thing:
Just compare the leaves ,of my tree to this one in this posting,and decide for yourself!

Not BM in that link you put.

So do you think someone is trying to pass a Brown Turkey as a BM?

"So do you think someone is trying to pass a Brown Turkey as a BM?"

Sounds painful!

I imagine he's seen the recent BM's selling for $100ish and was hoping for a quick scam..

Rewton, but who is it worse for.  The turkey or the scammer?

Picture is of Blue Giant.

Can someone please let me know if the Blue Giant is the California Brown Turkey? Thank you.

Best,

Incredible! I think we accomplished something good here! 
The inferior unripe grass-tasting figs shouldn't be sold in the grocery stores as well as selling a random fig tree under a label of a superior variety. 
Well.. it is hard to deal with the first one but we at least can try to keep eBay cleaner.
