Can Fig Lovers Make A Varigated Tree

 I love, love, love varigated plants.
 I would love for all of my plants and
trees to be varigated.
Can an fig tree be artificially stimulated to be varigated ?
Are there varigated fruits?
Can we on figs 4 fun make one ?

Existing variegated figs:


Panachee (Tiger):
Produces green/yellow striped  fruit and also on (young) stem shoots (but not on leaves).
Not to be name-confused with the recently released (LSU) Tiger (mascot) fig!

Jolly Tiger :
Produces variegated (yellow/green)  leaves (but not-so on fruit/twigs).

Both tend to revert back to the 'natural' fig colors.

Note that all variegated plants are mutations that lack some of that basic
from-sun-energy producing 'gismo' - aka (natural-green) chlorophyll...

Like Gorgi mentioned - panache has variegated wood and fruit.

Now with Jolly Tiger
it also has variegated wood, leaves and fruit , just not all the fruit but some yes.
The leaves can revert back green as well, but with proper pruning it will keep its variegation.
