Raspberry Latte?

Is this the Raspberry Latte?  I lost the tag for this one.  Some lower shoot have heavy FMV.

Looks like some kind of Nero to me.Leaves resemble my Genovese Nero.

Mine still hasn't fruited.... :\

Doesn't look like it.

Scratching my head now.  At first, without looking closely, I thought it was a Trojano because I have one that has the same cluster of figs but Trojano is a green fig.  I did purchase a Strawberry Latte after my cuttings failed last year so I thought it was that since its a dark fig.  I have to review what I have purchased from Jon and UCD in the past to narrow it down. At least I know it's a dark fig.

Can you post any pictures of the leaves?

They're all first year airlayers, so the leaves may be off, but I will snap photos.

Here's how mine looked. The leaves have been very variable. Possibly due to the FMV infection. Yours looks similar for the most part.

Ruben's looks correct.

I think I solved my fig ID.  I think this is an additional Barnissotte that I didn't realize I had.  Each Barnissotte I have is growing differently than the other.  I found the Raspberry latte with the label on it  It seems to have a spit personality.  One branch seems to want to be a Negronne.

Welcome to life in a Petite Negri/Vista world.  There is a picture of a Raspberry Latte tree that looks pretty similar to my trees somewheres on this site...

Tom, based on that second set of pics, I'm actually thinking you have a Raspberry Latte.  RL has two very distinct leaf patterns for me - and not to contradict Jon, but note, I had one tree direct from Encanto, I airlayered two add'l trees, and they all have two very distinct leaf shapes - one has no fingers (like Unk Pastiliere) and the other has five-to-seven fingers (like Negronne/VdB).  Based on the first pics, It looks like something else.  second set ... totally RL.

I did some up-potting and in-ground plantings today - I put a UCD Ischia Black in our community Garden, planted a Verte (thanks Ruben) for Espalier in the yard, planted Sal's Unk Black on the north side of my house, and up-potted Vernino, Celeste/Meridian and a forum member's unkown.  In the process I snapped off some photos - compare for yourself, and please know, I'm super freaking anal about my tree labeling and also keep text docs with my garden layout and inventory in case labels disappear (came in handy today ID'ing my Sal C, who outgrew its tags).

Anyway, pics:

Other notes:  See how one branch has no fingers, the other has 5/7 fingers.  Also, note that my tree is heavily affected by FMV or whatever "virus cocktail" my trees have.  Only the potted trees show these signs of infection.  You will see that mine are crippled-leafed just like Ruben's.  Obv doesn't handle virii well.

Jason, your pix accurately reflect the leaves that I see on the original tree.

How do you Feel about the 2nd set of pics Tom posted in #10 reply above?

DamnDamns.  Sorry, just noticed #10 was the actually RL.  Reading comprehension > satellitehead.
