I started getting my first crop on a fig that was sold as a White Genoa, and today I noticed a huge purple fig on the tree. Could it possibly be a White Genoa? I haven't ever seen a fig this color called a White Genoa. I think the label may have gotten switched with a Negronne I ordered at the same time. __________________ Wish List: sbayi, hmari, niagara black, black ischia

I ,once bought 4 kinds of grapes: from:a large chain store. Catawba, Canadice, Niagara and Concord! When it started fruiting,they were all Concord grapes. So,If you got your tree from a large chain store or nursery,anything is possible. I had white Genoa,yours is not.

I bought from Bay Flora in Berkeley. I guess I will contact them and see what they say. I wouldn't call them a large chain or anything, but anyone can mislabel a fig. :) __________________ Wish List: sbayi, hmari, niagara black, black ischia

Just to follow up, I e-mailed Bay Flora and they already responded. They agreed that it is not White Genoa (they suggest it is probably a Black Jack fig). They will ship me a White Genoa this week. Thanks for the help confirming it is not White Genoa! __________________ Wish List: sbayi, hmari, niagara black, black ischia

Yes, that is Black Jack. I can see from the leaves and the fruit. I have several Black Jack fig trees. Bay Flora is a good nursery. They contacted you and that's a good thing! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a
