It looks like an Etna fig.

It resembles one of the many Unknown Dark Italian figs found in the North Eastern USA. It is Not Violette de Borbeaux...
I had mentioned this particular ebay seller's VDB Not in an earlier topic on "Naming Conventions", http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-ho...=2214#post2214

Its similar to the Unknown BryantDark, http://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-ho...tdark#post9483

That's what I thought as well. Has anyone contacted the vendor?

And the misnaming of figs continues.

Everyone of the buyers now think they have a VdB, and if they propagate them and distribute more....

I'm with you guys(and lady)! Not a Negronne and for sure looks like an Etna type! Good catch Brian!

Seems pricey considering you can get a tissue cultured VdB for, what, $7?
