What could this be?

The fruit is about the size of a Celeste, but the skin has a little more purple, and the taste is richer. The leaves don't look like Celeste to me. Got this one from a neighbor. Her mother brought it from Italy 30 or 40 years ago. She doesn't know the name. She said the fruit's usually a little bit bigger.

It could be a fig.

Oh, wait! I'll get in trouble for that comment.

Given the recent pix that people have posted of Celeste, I'm thinking that is a possibility.  I certainly have leaves on some of mine that look similar.

It does look like a Celeste, the shape, but it's very red inside.  Looks delicious.  The leaves don't really look like a Celeste to me, either.  Does it drop its fruit in the heat?  Does it have FMV?

LOL!  Jon!  ;)
