Walmart Celeste NOT...any ideas?

I bought this for $2 at Walmart knowing it wasn't marked correctly. Anybody got any idea what it is? The fig pictured was small and dry due to neglect but it gives an idea of the color.

Magnolia i believe. I bought 5 of them for 2 dollers a piece. Lol.

I'm pretty sure it's not magnolia because of the leaves and fruit color. Ya gotta love the end of season close out though!

Your right. I was guessing. Mine are black figs. What color is magnolia. My leaf looks the same as yours. Good fig.

Definitely, without a doubt, not Magnolia.

Here a puc of mine from a couple of weeks ago

It looks very close to Hardy Chicago.

Figpig: Your Magnolia looks very close to my black mission from Walmart.

My Magnolia from Walmart is a Brown Turkey type.

Apparently Magnolia is supposed to be a light brown Brunswick type fig, so we both got mislabeled ones.

Well thats a good fig. !!!! We did good for 2 dollers.

I'm also thinking Hardy Chicago after seeing some pics.  I hope so ,as i am apparently the only person on this board without one!

My guess would be Mission which is a very good fig.

Black mission..

What color is the pulp of black mission. And of hardy Chicago? If you look at my pic it is yellow or Carmel colored

Both have red interior

Mt.Etna type fig. Could be CH which is most commonly distributed under wrong tags. T
Richie, your fig looks nothing like Mt.Etna type. Can you past pics of leaves?

When i get home from work i will.

~i was going to say that also it looks mt etna type but i'm far from pro ~

The pic doesn't look like Chicago Hardy I had in Illinois. I would think Black Mission.

I agree with the black mission folks.
