I PICKED TWO FIGS BECAUSE THEY SWELLED UP YESTERDAY. SO I PICKED THEM A LITTLE BIT EARLY TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE BECAUSE ITS GREEN. TASTED REALLY STRONG COMPAIRED TO EVERYTHING ELSE SO FAR THAT I HAD REST OF MY FIGS HAVE BEEN VERY WATERY BECAUSE OF THE LOUISIANA RAIN.

Green Ischia? 
It is a good fig, just replace the label with the correct one and have a good night sleep :)

Best Brown Turkey in the world is one that is mis-labeled. Looks like a winner.

Thanks everyone. I am letting the next one ripen longer. Very rain tolerant. Maybe not a common fig but probably a ischia.
