Please help me identify


Last year, I bought a Panachee fig tree from a nursery.  This year, it's producing a few figs (yay!).  However, I notice right away that the figs were not striped, instead they were dark green.  As they ripened, they became a pale green.  The tree itself is a rather vigorous grower

Below are pictures (sorry for the 1st photo being so blurry).  The fig was quite sweet and tasted of berry.

Does anyone have any guess as to what variety I actually have?  I am guessing Desert King...

Green Ischia or Verte

Green Ischia/Verte

Good fig down here.  Ripens late here, figs in Oct/Nov if no early frost.

In my opinion, the leaf is Col de Dame.

Perhaps the fig is Col de Dame Blanc- (same as Panache but without the varigation)




Thanks for the replies!!!

I did a bit more investigation, and I am pretty certain that this is a Green Ischia because:

  • The overall character of the fruit (small eye, pyramid shaped, berry taste, etc.)
  • The shape of the tree (quite compact and dense leafed).
  • The shape of the leaves
  • The tree is from Dave Wilson, which carries both Ischia and Panachee.  So it is very likely a mislabel.
I might still get a Panachee at some point, because they are just so darn CUTE!!!  :-)
