Is this a Latarulla?

The Agway near me had an add for 50% off fruit trees so I decided to stop by.

They had some really good sized Celeste, Hardy Chicago, and BT.

In the back unlabelled was this guy.  I may get a two for 1 becuase it had a branch that was under dirt and had developed sme very small roots on it.  I cut that off and potted it in MG soil.  I also trimmed a bunch of leaves off and am hopeful the tiny roots can keep on keepin' on.

So what it it? Very petite leaves.

Yes. The fruit alone is a great indication. THeir are usualy ribbed when young and then smooth out as they ripen. The leaves are dark green and shiny with 3 to 5 lobes.

It looks a little more like St  Anthony but that's a variant and pretty much the same thing. Those leaves are just in their infancy so they don't show the dominant strain yet.

Thanks Dom.

I was hoping for something different. I also have a Neri II which I understand is one in the same....So much for getting something new......

Compare them and see.

I have the Neri 1 ( some call it Neri Brown) and it's close if not the same as Sal's Corleone. But I'm not convinced yet.

Maybe i'll just give this plant a new name. This plant will now be known as the slingha super fig.

Tim,

After the fruit ripens post another pic of the leaves and fruit, for a more positive ID. 

I've decided to try this one in-ground. It's compact enough that I can easily wrap it for the winter. Plus, judging by the root ball it needs some room to run.
