REI = Black Spanish ?

I was looking at the description of the Black Spanish fig tree on the One Green World website and it sounds like the REI fig that I have.  The REI is the only fig that I have with a very dwarf growth habit.  The fig description matches what I had this year.  It does not mention two crops though.  

Black Spanish is not too far removed from Brown Turkey.

I have one Black Spanish from a member.  A cutting that has rooted and showing green!  I'll plant it and see what shakes!

Edit:  Just checked.  Mine is Black Italian!

Sounds like some cocktail. I wonder if there is a fig called White Russian.

A member informed me that Rei might a be Desert king.  

Saw a video on youtube with Rei and Desert King, from NewEnglandGardener (probably a forum member with a different forum name), and his looked nothing alike.  Don't know if that is typical or not though...
