The leaf looks like it could be a Black Madeira. Does anyone know this seller?

I have seen the screen name on ebay a few times as it caught my eye person is several towns from me . Dont recall selling him any fig related items. Sellers plants are consistent with the other ones they sold as the same cultivar being so young if your interested i would ask seller to post picture of parent plant and this should tell if its a madeira as leaf of this cultivar stands out compared to others.

Thank you Martin. I did send this seller a question at one point about that very topic. This is the response: Dear cobb4861, Hi, sorry for the delay. My uncle brought the tree from Portugal about 10 years ago. Its from Madeira, Portugal.
