--- Is this a Wuhan (Encanto)?

I got this fig as a Wuhan at the Jon's Fig Fiesta from a forum member. The label say "Encanto Wuhan" though so it was probably propagated from a cutting obtained from Jon.

It was not big but had 1 fig on it that I decided to leave. The pot is a 3 gal one.
Today the fig seemed ripe to me and I tasted it. It was OK, maybe 6 out of 10, melony, not very juicy, not spectacular but the plant is tiny so no complains there yet.

I've never seen a Wuhan fig before. Those who have it, can you confirm or deny the fact that it is a Wuhan, please?

Hmm... Any guess on what that might be??

Mike,

Thanks for the link. 
Is it possible that the 'Encanto Wuhan' is different from yours? 
It is also possible that the plant was mislabeled and what I have nobody knows now. The taste was not horrible but not great either, I will give it another year.


That doesn't look like my Wuhan. Leaves are to fingery and long.

Igor,
It doesn't look like my Wuhan either and I no idea what it resembles, sorry.

What a bummer ...
I guess it was not my lucky day.

Howie, are you taking your Wuhan up to San Jose?

Greenfig,
IMO it doesn't look like Wuhan, but it does resemble Longue D'Aout.
Attached are pictures of my Wuhan leaves and a web picture of a Wuhan fig from my source. My plant is only a few months old and has been continuously producing figlets which have been pinched.
Good Luck.
