I bought this tree from TYTY GA as a Ceasars nero, can anyone tell me if this is what it is, or does it look like something else? Leaf pic is of ceasar nero, Don't worry I'll never do it again, it is however a very healthy tree, also got a supposed green ischia, but I'm pretty sure it's not. Thanks guys Attached Images 2016-07-04_19.40.37.jpg (160.47 KB, 58 views)

If you have doubts, leaves on baby trees are not enough to reach a definite conclusion as to the variety. You might have to grow it in order to find out what you have. Since you already have it, keep the label in good condition. There are hundreds of names for black figs out there. Some are used for marketing purposes while others are for specific varieties where there should not be any confusion. I must admit, that I don't know anything about Ceasars Nero, but If you are a collector, knowing the original source of the fig is very important. Regardless of what the name is, at this time it looks like you have a healthy tree and you might still end up with a great variety. __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane

Most likely it will turn out to be a Celeste. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

I actually drove by their the other day while on a trip to Florida. I decided to stop and I asked if there were any fig trees available, I was told that they only had "Brown Turkey." I even asked if they had other varieties. I was told "no." The place doesn't seem that bad, they did have some Jujube trees I was interested in but they were pricey. Sorry but you probably did get a "Brown Turkey" or "Celeste." __________________ Micah 4:4But each one shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, with no one to make them afraid, for the mouth of יְהוָה of hosts has spoken.
