Bought as White Madeira #1 from a UK seller back in 2024. Got my first real harvest this year and honestly I'm not sure what I've got.
Claimed variety: White Madeira #1
Source / label: UK eBay seller "FigsNorth"
Country / region: UK, zone 8b
Growing condition: 30L container, south wall
Fruit season: late August
What's bugging me: the cross-section is really pink, not amber like it should be. And the leaf's got 5 lobes that seem deeper than what I'd expect from WM1.
Anyone got ideas? Maybe it's a different fig altogether?
Traducido.

The cross-section is kinda sus. Real WM1 should be amber-honey colored, not pink. Your photo looks more like a Black Madeira-type fig to me.

>>2 Yeah, agreed. The leaf's also way too deeply 5-lobed to be typical WM1. WM1 leaves are usually broader and shallower.
