It does look like one to me too. The leaves should have a raspy, sandpapery feel to them and if you break a leaf stem it will bleed milky sap.

Thanks, deejaus. Yes, they do have a mild sandpaper-y feel. I don't want to traumatize it more than I already have [by digging it up!], so I'm not going to break a leaf stem right now.

I'm really surprised by the size of its leaves which, as I said, are HUGE compared to the overall plant. I've grown fig trees before--and I have pictures of them when they were about the same height--and their leaves were nowhere CLOSE to the size these are. They were 1/10th of these.

And, yes!, I did compare my old pics to the new plant, but the leaves are dissimilar enough that I'm still not sure. Probably a different variety.

Yes, there are quite a few different figs. This could be a turkey fig.

Thanks, purpleinopp. You're right, it looks a lot like a turkey fig.

Ignoring for the moment what type of fig it might be, are we all agreed that it *IS* a fig tree?!
