Edit. This thread was entitled Unknown Purple Italian but clearly that is not what this is. Thanks to forum members more experienced than me, I doing some homework. Once it ripens, I will know for certain. Meanwhile, I changed the title to avoid any confusion. Unknown Purple Italian. Gifted three cuttings labeled as Unknown Purple Italian from J. A. Stallone on 31 January 2010. It is a first ever fig for this tree. It is a massive fig that is more than likely not purple with an open eye. It has swollen but it is still as hard as a baseball. Any thoughts? This fig may ripen, fall, be eaten, and/or rot without human intervention. Thus this is for the record: Attached Images unknown_purple_italian001.JPG (382.63 KB, 24 views) unknown_purple_italian002.JPG (276.39 KB, 28 views) unknown_purple_italian003.JPG (282.21 KB, 27 views) __________________ jd \| tallahassee.fl \| zone 8b

Finger leaves, large eye, light purple/ brown, with white spots... I am thinking you got a Brunswick. Depends if the eye opens up into an interior (amber to pink) cavity. __________________ 7a, DE
