WHITE TRIANA ( JM )

Somehow, my White Tiana survived its near-death experience and actually fruited. Here it is. It was figgy and a bit watery for a second year plant, I'll take it!  :-)

Sorry man,but your fig is not white ,and not even close to,what Joe Morle pix of White Triana.
White Triana has white /green skin
My opinion:You got Black Triana
Check: figtrees.net

Maybe it would help to post pics of the leaves and additional ripe fruits. 

I just got my first ripe Black Triana from my 2nd year tree, was darker than the pics on Italian Fig Trees site, and yours as well, Joe.  It was very good.

Interesting, no? Last year, this plant's first in the ground after I purchased it from JM in Boston, it did had a few figs ripen - plus mucho fmv leaves. The figs that ripened were light green in color. So different from the fig pictured above. This Spring, the plant appeared to be dead. It finally started to leaf out in June, and that is late for Georgia.
And yes, the fruit, as you see, is much darker skinned. The only other fig on it remains small and quite green and I do not expect it to ripen. Since the tree itself barely grew this season, I do not expect it to survive until next year.
Stress does strange things to plants.

BTW, when I purchased this tree last year, I also purchased a San Pietro from JM. It grew well but was deader than a doornail come Spring. I dug it up in July and tossed it.

Yes,I never knew a person to have a fig that makes ,white ripe fig one year and brown fig next year.
But ,now you are here ,calling it a fact,so:
It seem anything is possible with fig trees.
I did hear stories about fig trees in lands where the fig wasp is present ,that caprified fruits are different in color than uncaprified ones on same tree,but in Georgia you do not have fig wasp to pollinate.

Its certainly is unusual. The best I can think is that this tree is so highly stressed that it is producing unusual leaves and figs. 
The plant is in poor shape and I do not expect it to survive another winter.
