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.

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!

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.

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?

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