Ha! I saw a posting today on eBay for "Non-Variegated Jolly Tiger" and I thought exactly the same thing. "I may be a newbie, but..." __________________ Sunset Zone: 21 • USDA Zone: 10a __________ Wish List: Lattarula

Looks like they might have a difficulty with English. It also says "grown in Madeira..." So it could be any fig grown there, and they could have purposely left the black in for more search hits. __________________ Phil - Zone 7A - Newark, DE Newbie fig lover just trying to learn.

Maybe the figs are black. The bark of the tree is is white. Or maybe the person is color blind. __________________ JimmyS Zone 8a New Bern NC Wish list ,Brooklyn white
