I screwed up
The first Pict. is a fig growing on what is labeled BT which is the 3rd Pict.
Pict 2 and 4 are labeled Kadota.

The plant labeled Kadota with the water bottle cap has all very small leaves.

Kadota plant is very close what Kadota sould be but the leaves are still very young and not totally formed.
Brown Turkey,look like one of many Brown Turkey going around.
It might be good and cold hardy or it might not,it depends,on the genes.

Do brown turkey ever start with a white eye?
The Pict of the fig is on the plant in the 3rd Pict labeled brown turkey

 To me the leaves of plant 1 do not match the leaves of plant 4 i am looking at where the leaf meets the stem.
How many leaves need to develop on a branch before you can try to identify the genes. 



Hi Herman.  Hope you are well.

And Smiles, the first fig I ever bought, a "Celeste" turned out to be an Italian Honey.  It is outstanding though.  And the "BT" I bought second, I'm still not sure what it really is.  It's small like a BT but not brown at all, more light violet/blue varigated and a different shape than my neighbor's BT which I think really is a BT.  But it's very good.  As they say: A fig by any other name . . .

I think a lot of the more mainstream commercial trade figs can be pretty mixed up.  The most accurate label would probably be "Mystery Fig."

If you are looking for a special variety though, and want to be sure you are getting that variety, Jon, Herman, and Bass have some great figs and you can be certain that they are true to type.

Whatever it turns out to be, I hope it's a very good one for you.

Best wishes to all.
