I have "Kennedy" which I have assumed was actually "Castle Kennedy" and one which is supposed to be "Brunswick", but still has some possible debate. The two I have are definitely not the same. I ordered Castle Kennedy cuttings from USDA/UC Davis this year, for comparison. Sybil at Paradise tells me that Brunswick is known for am really thick neck. Mine is thicker than most figs, but not as thick as her description. My Red Italian has a definitely thick neck, and the color and leaf are within the range of description of Brunswick, so it may actually be a Brunswick under a different name. All three are different, and all three are good. Pix of all three at the "appropriate" website. Ain't fig ID wonderful.

Where did you get your Black Madeira cutting from?

They are different. The fruit of the first is large on a small, shrubby plant (12-15') with a reddish brown skin and strawberry colored flesh. The Black Italian is a larger (25') tree and with fruit with jet black skin and dark red flesh.
