Is there a difference between Blue Ischia and Black Ischia? In many different literatures I read they are one and the same. A certain nursery was marketing a Blue Ischia a couple years back, but in all the articles I'm reading, Blue and Black are the same variety. Anyone?

Yup, my Blue Ischia turned out to be Green Lemon and the Nursery that sold them did not give a crap.

Hirt's customer service sucks!! I purchased a blue ischia from them that was a 6 inch size ,arrived and the plant was about 1inch tall and half dead,when I called customer service they said that I had to ship the plant back so they can tell if it was really dead at my cost and if it wasn't dead I would be charged for shipping the same plant back. Still have the plant, it is now 3 years old and about 1 foot tall,only kept alive by feeding the hell out of it.Maybe this year it will finally start to really grow.

There is more than one Black Ischia being sold. UC Davis, Jon's faux BI, Richard Watt's renamed Black Provence, and others at various nurseries over time. I consider the one from UCD the 'real' one.
As for 'blue Ischia',.. since Black Ischia is a highly sought after fig, they would call their 'blue Ischia' a 'black ischia' if it really was one. Or close to one.Last edited by Gina; 02-19-2015, 10:51 AM.
