Texas Everbearing??

I've attached a picture of what my old Texas Everbearing looks like(from ray's figs). 99% of the TE pictures online show a much darker/purple fig than the one I thought was a TE. Does anyone know what the deal is? To me it looks almost like an alma. Sorry I don't have pictures of the leaves. I only brought some cuttings with me to my new place.

My Texas Everbearing is a dark fig.

According to Texas A&M the Texas Everbearing is a Brown Turkey.
Check it out.

The link is a pdf so cut & paste.

Some claim the Texas Everbearing has 3 lobes and Bt has 5 lobes. I don't know because I don't have Texas Everbearing.

Here is an article about such claim

My BT has 5 lobes with green figs that turn dark when ripe.

Not to be confused with TE or BT my White Texas Everbearing has 3 faintly defined lobes, is green turning light color when ripe and light honey color when hanging ripe and has a light amber inside.

I think its an Alma that got mislabeled. Before I was thinking it might be a White Texas Everbearing, however the figs are a light brown color like Alma. Leaves are short and stumpy just like Alma too.

There is a Texas Everbearing and a White Texas Everbearing.  It doesn't look like my WTE either:

I'm not complaining about it being an Alma. It turned out to be a very good fig that was completely different than any others that I have. It's sort of like honey mixed with brown sugar.

Took some pictures today of the Texas Everbearing, that I planted in the community garden.
