It is a very nice looking fig!

I have never seen an Osborne but to me this fig looks like a Neveralla breba(1st crop)?

Iwan, do a search on this forum "Picture - 17th September 2014 Osborne Prolific" I posted. Sorry I do
not know how to post the link to the picture. Maybe some one here at the forum can help.

My Osborne P is reliable in my zone. It gives me 2 crops. It is indeed a work horse variant here. I have 
seen a picture of a green fig named Osborne Prolific. Hence, as long as you like it, that counts. I have 4
sources of OP and they are the same as my tree --- 2 were given to me, one purchased and the last one
was a intentional dupe in a trade.

Hi Iwan,
Show us the leaves, as for now, my young Osborn just made leaves :) .
Surprisingly, the tree tried to make one breba that got slug beaten but no main crop at all . It did not grow that much.
The conditions were harsh last year here, and other strains in similar stage just behaved the same.
I'm looking forward to a better outcome this coming season .
If you post the leaves, I can compare yours to mine.

F4F describes the Variety Osborne Prolific as having a skin Color of Bronze/Brown.
Twice it's medium size is mentioned in the description. Here is a pic of my O.P. Neveralla 003.JPG

I could not find my OP photos but Archipel is a syn. of OP. I think you have a beautiful fig there but not an Osborn Prolific - at least not what we here in the US consider an OP. I have no idea how this post ended up so strange.

It looks like a simple mistake. They happen.
I try extremely hard not to sell any trees that are mis-labelled and I attach a metal tag to the plant and a strong plastic one to the pot but every once in a while someone will tell me I messed up. Last one was a Scott's Yellow I gave to a friend that produced purple figs . . . .ooops . . . 

I'd just ask your friend to replace  - or just keep the one you have as it looks great.

As far as that kind of difference due to climatic factors - - I doubt it.

mgg,  Did your Scott's Yellow turn out to be a Scott's Black?  Several of mine did that, hence, I have several Scott's Blacks, which are delicious.

Thanks, Iwan. Nice looking fig!  I am really looking forward to figs.  So I gave in and bought a tree at the store....lol  It's actually quite tall. Maybe 6 foot.  I paid $29 (I think) for it.  I sure hope it's not mislabeled.

Noss,
I only got one fig from my "Scott's Yellow" as a coon got the rest. It was a very good fig and was very much like the figs from my Scott's Black. I hope to ID the tree this year. And like your's - the figs from my Scott's Black are very good.
