Thanks.  I'm pretty sure I didn't mix anything up and Jose remembers specifically taking my cuttings so I'm inclined to believe the leaf shape is changed either due to nutrition, climate, and/or mutation.

Neil (Posturedoc) was here a couple of weeks ago and tasted a fig or two from mine and give it high marks (second only to CdDN).

Yep, excellent fig. When I tasted it in your orchard, I could see why you had questions about its authenticity, but after picking the CdDN, bringing it home, allowing my mouth to recover from all the figs I ate at your place and then tasting it side-by-side with Socorro Black, it's pretty clear to me they are not related. I've got CdDB and N at my place and while your CdDN looks like the fruits from both of mine, the Socorro Black fruit did not look like a CdD. Even more compelling, your CdDN fruit also tasted like the best of my own CdD fruit, while the SB, excellent as it was, did not have the same flavor that is unique to CdD figs. Congrats on having the real SB. I only hope my SB fruit is close to as good next year (showed potential this year for a couple or three of the handful I ate off of my 2nd year tree).
