Is this Battaglia?

Me thinks not, although I don't have a Battaglia to compare to compare to. All the pictures of Battaglia I see have fatter lobes and don't have the mini lobulations on the borders. There is only one Battaglia so it's not like there are other strains. I also don't have any fruit pics either.


So here are a couple pictures of leaves from my supposed "Batttaglia" at the bottom of the page. To me they look more like Brunswick, Green German, or Green TN.

For comparison here are some pics from the varietal page.

Brunswick



Green German
 

Green TN


Battaglia




And here is the supposed Battaglia I have. Every leaf on the plant looks exactly like these.

Go to this thread. I posted a couple of pics of Battaglia Green. They show leaf pattern and unripe fruit. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Bataglia-Green-Verte-6354778

Not a Battaglia for sure but I am not going to guess what it is ,because I am afraid I will be wrong.

Thanks Scot. Thanks Vasile.

I knew I had been had, I just needed someone to confirm it. That just goes to show yet again that just because a member is selling plants on eBay doesn't necessarily  mean they are honest or know what they are talking about.  I won't deal with that one again.

I was kind of wanting to try JH Adriatic someday down the road anyway. I guess I'll be starting that hunt a little sooner than expected.
