It's just the Magnolia Fig

Just another re named fig just like Stella / vasilika

IMO Magnolia is just a improved version of brown turkey fig. I have Brown turkey, Texas blue giant and 200 magnolia fig trees. If I was to rate them I would give brown turkey a 6/10(watery melon flavored). Texas blue giant(7/10)(30% bigger than brown turkey slightly better melon flavor).

Magnolia is about the same size as Texas blue giant but rounder, flavor has been variable, anything from watery melon(6/10), to rich, sweet, dark plum flavored(8/10). The color of the outside when ripe can be brown, red, purple or even black. It can have a large hollow center, or sometimes it's solid. Internal color can be amber, pink, or red. The best ones/(first ones I ever tasted) I had ripened during 2 weeks of continuous rainfall during February, 2015. They were dark black, with a solid red center, taste was almost identical to dark plums, and of course I propagated as many as I could after that. But the next crop I got that riped in July, with hotter dryer conditions, tasted just like a normal brown turkey fig, with a watery melon flavor. Still trying to figure out what this figs deal Is... So far it's given me more headaches than delicious figs.

Isn't Brunswick the original name of this fig?  Of course, before it was name Brunswick (presumably by the Brits) it was probably named something else entirely.

It is?

I think there are 2 called magnolia, one is Brunswick, and the purple one is a brown turkey type.

hmm interesting, I thought magnolia = brunswick. based on the photos it does not look like a magnolia or brunswick.

I bought one called the green goliath,

this looks different from magnolia. I saw another listing called just called "goliath" on ebay and that one does look more like a magnolia.

I have Brunswick and man, sometimes the taste is awesome. Most times, it splits bad & turns sour with rain. I kept 
the tree because the wife loves Brunswick that ripens under the right conditions. I have Magnolia where I have never gotten
a ripe fig for 5 years. It came from a tree in Vancouver where the occupant(renter) says it is very good and the owner told
him it came from Italy. 

The main question: is it really 183 grams as seen on the ebay listing?
