I'm looking to find out the exact type of fig tree this is. I posted it in another fig forum: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Mystery-fig-6475254

We've never seen figs on it, but it's in the shade most of the time and we haven't been taking care of it (we've been actively trying to get rid of it). It has a white milky sap that gives incredible rashes, which I read is common with fig tree sap.

They grow out of the ground as single stems, and do not become tree-like. They stop growing at about 6 feet tall (you can see the stalk in the picture). My dad's hand is in the picture for scale, and we live in Southern California.

Any help would be appreciated, and any tips for eradicating the plant would be useful as well. Maybe if we find out it is an edible fig, we can figure out how to make it produce fruit and keep it after all? Any advice is welcome.
