What exactly is a "Hardy Everbearing Fig"?

Hi,
I have only been figging for a couple of years so I am not a pro. 
I have two "Hardy Everbearing Figs" from Gurney's and when I've tried to look up info about them, I can't find information that exactly matches what a "Hardy Everbearing Fig" is. My best guess is that "Hardy Everbearing" is either a Texas Everbearing or a Hardy Chicago. Please correct me if I am wrong. I appreciate any advice you can offer.

Christy,
What you have is a Brown Turkey.The page describes it as the botanical name 
Botanical Name: Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey'

Christy,
Hardy and Everbearing are adjectives, not actual names, but the two cultivars that you mention have those words as part of their names. Good Luck.

You're right! I must have missed that. Thank you!

Hii,
Welcome Zippy. Do you have photos of the leaves and ripe fruits ?
IMO, the photo in their website is not from a standard BT .
How old are the trees ? Are they truly everbearing ?
My BT is not everbearing - she gave the brebas and now she has the main-crop in waiting modus .
Of course one could tell that everbearing doesn't mean everripening ...

I have an "Illinois Everbearing Mulberry". In that case, "Everbearing" means "mid-June through August".

jdsfrance,

I've only had the figs since the beginning of this season. When they arrives they were little twigs, but now stand at around 30" tall. It has not yet fruited but I am guessing that next season it will try. I'll update with a pic of fruits then! :)

I should clarify- I've only had those BT trees from Gurney's since early this season (April 2014).

:)
