Most of wrong fig stories on the forum are about figs which are mislabeled.
Mine is the opposite the wrong fig that was correctly labelled.
It's a bit of a peculiar story in that I ordered a Sucre Vert in 2014 and got a fig later identified as Pingo de Mel.
In 2015 before I realised that my 2014 order was incorrect I ordered a Verte fig from the same supplier.
This Verte was pictured on the supplier's Facebook as a late green fig with a red centre.
The fig arrived and had a label attached saying Sucre Vert. Naturally I contacted the supplier and was assured that despite the label it was definitely Verte.
Well I had to take his word.
I recently posted pictures of my Verte on the forum and was informed that it was definitely not a Verte. I had my suspicions then that the original label was correct, recently confirmed via some pictures which match my tree posted by Goldeneye in a Rewton topic.

The supplier is no longer trading, so no comeback there but I'm not as annoyed as I might have been as one of my orders was eventually met.

The label, although correctly named, can be misleading as well...My Ischia fig tree has a label with a picture that belongs to the "GREEN" Ischia with a strawberry pulp.  Being a newbie to the fig world, I was led to believe that the picture is representative of the said name.  Two years down the road when I got my first ripened fig, it has light tan colored pulp, nowhere near the pic on the label.  It is an Ischia for sure, with a green skin, but I was not quite happy as I actually wanted a green fig with a strawberry pulp in the first place.  I am not sure that I can return it after two years and 8' all...no, not worth it for only $4.00.  It is not all lost though... the taste is quite juicy and refreshingly sweet with certain crunchy feel.  It is in a bush form with some of the branches to be used for grafting base stock for a couple of wanted cuttings later on.  Life goes on...

@schang - I do not understand you comment....... "It is an Ischia for sure, with a green skin, but I was not quite happy as I actually wanted a green fig with a strawberry pulp in the first place"

Just because it has a green skin does not make it an Ischia.  There are other Ischias other than Green.  Presumably any fig from the Island of Ischia can be called an Ischia, most likely incorrectly so.

The label says Ischia...with a pic on the label that is for Green Ischia.  The fruit matched and the leaves matched those of Ischia "White" after Googled the fig...Of course, there are other green figs with light tan pulp, but in this case with the label from a nursery, one has to "trust" them, if not, you will have to do a DNA test.  I guess one can always argue about the true identity of any fig varieties...Unless you have a ID certificate or something like that.



 

"Ischia" by agristarts, sold by nurseries to big bix stores is a mystery to me, maybe a "white Ischia" ;)

either way, train to one branch and watch it take off, it is healthy and productive.

Yes, it is very healthy and vigorous grower...My search of its identity ended up in f4f link below, "accession 204" with pics of the fruit which is identical to mine...I called it Ischia "white" for its pulp color, though White Ischia variety has different pulp color,s like reddish with purple/green skin.  It is confusion, no doubt.

Yes, sometimes the unknown fig that you receive instead of the one you thought you were buying can be ok, but that's not the point. It's just so frustrating when you want a particular fig, spend a year or two tending it and it isn't the right one.
For example, I realised I hadn't got Sucre Vert in my original order, when it produced a breba crop as I knew that it was main only.

Of course, that is not the point, otherwise we would not be here talking about it.  Mislabeled fruit trees are pretty common here, but I felt this is particularly so in the case of fig trees.  Out of four fig trees i have, one is mislabeled, one is misleading.  The other two are still young to be proven true.  They are all common names so the sense of loss/disappointment is not all that great and bearable.  After all, a fig is a fig, they all carry the base flavor of a fig with variations of acidity, sweetness, crunchiness, texture, etc...Heck, these variations are likely found for figs picked at different ripeness from the same tree.  I do plan on adding two "elite" fig varieties later on to experience myself their tastes compared with my other commoner fig varieties to see just how much better they are. To me, when picked ripe, they all taste great/delicious in their own way, so the fun begins...
