Do not buy this Magnolia:

Thanks Gorgi I really wish I could find a fig that really looks like the one pictured from parks and seed.

Keep em HONEST George ;-)

Yeah, that's a beauty, Rob. Good catch, Gorgi! He's certainly pulling a fast one.

what kind of fig could that possibly be? It is beautiful

Hey Chris, everything you need to know about that picture and that fig can be found here:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=5090983

You can find a revisit and more pictures here:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=5102969

The first pic in that second link is not the same fig... I think it will be pretty clear which pics are the same fig and which aren't ;)

George, here is another ebayer selling a "white genoa fig". It's actually an avocado tree and I have emailed this ebayer and asked if they were sure this was a 'fig tree', she replied with "oops, my mistake" and then kept reposting the same avocado picture labeled as a white genoa fig tree. Obviously they just either do not care of don't have a clue. I vote for the former...

Are those same people on Ebay the ones trying to sell ice to Eskimos?

Yes, the one picture is the one Parks Seed Co has for Petite Negri.  Is that not a true picture of that variety, then?

What is the matter with so many people who sell fig trees?
