Varieties with Brunswick type leaves

Ok the more varieties I gather the more I notice these leaves not necessarily Brunswick figs but have that type of leaf . Just wondering how many varieties have this type of leaf.

Nelson,

Haikel Lebanese, the fig that was discovered by Bill and kindly distributed by him, is very  similar to Brunswick. Thanks Bill, cuttings are doing nicely..

Vista/VDB/Negrone have similar shaped leaves as did my Petit Negri (RIP). I am sure there are many more.


Angelo, how long have you had the Calabrese Long? Has it produced for you? Being Calabrese myself, that particular fig peaks my interest.

Frank,   I have Calabrese Long for a year now, have not had any fruit yet. I also have an unknown Italian fig that has leaves like this. I was told my unknown came from southern Italy. Fruit from this tree is excellent.      Angelo Zone 7 NY

Thank you guys.

I have a unknown 'Long White Fig' with similar leaves.

As mentioned before, (unknown) Haikel Lebanese and also (unknown) Voiture #217.  Both have leaves similar to Brunswick but the fruit is not necessarily indicative.

Are there any dark figs with that leaf pattern?

I will add Syrian Long, Eftakia, White Greek, Vasilika Sika to the list. 

Yep to what Frank and Jason said. Haikel has been said to look like Brunswick.

 
I also have another variety that I found locally that seems to have very Brunswick-like leaves. This one comes from an elderly lady from Germany. She got the tree(s) from her son who runs a nursery in Tennessee. It could actually be Brunswick but I've had no fruit from it yet so it's still an unknown for now. 

I got some cuttings off a fig with that type of leaf from an old house in Las Cruces, NM and saw a seemingly identical one in Alamogorda. It supposedly has a brown fruit. Black Italian (Bechnel) also has those lovely spidery leaves.
