Couple of weeks ago found a fig tree in Birmingham's botanical gardens that its figs had some resemblance to the Gene's figs.
Gene do you mind if I post couple of pics from its figs and the tree?

Navid, please post your pictures, the more we see the more we can understand.

Here are the pics. They were quite large, most of the leaves were either three of four lobed. Any idea what it might be?

Navid, here are pictures of the leaves on my Palermo Red.

Gene, I thought it was a Brown Turkey. If not, I need to go there tonight and take some cuttings ;)

If you go tonight beware of the fig spirits, they may force you to leave your britches on the fence like someone else around here.  : > )  I might add those spirits come in all shape and sizes. Some even look like dogs.

Gene,

Went there late yesterday evening with my girlfriend. Long story short, she didn't want to take the cuttings and when I went for it everything went wrong (a snake fell on my shoulder while I was pulling down a branch to cut and almost got arrested).
Was a bad idea and embarrassed to tell what happened here :)


Navid.


P.S. Lessons learned; 1) Always look for snakes before grabbing and pulling down a branch. 2) Wear your running shoes, you may have to run......

Yep......you might be a fignut when you have to ward off snakes and wear running shoes.

I guess is should have warned you further, some of them spirits look like snakes and some look like police officers.

Dan, I guess I am, now. Just glad that thing didn't bit me. As soon it hit the ground my girlfriend (standing 30 feet away) took off running so fast. Never seen her run so fast before :)

Gene, I have never done such a thing before, it was the first and the last time. They weren't cops, they were two park workers that were making sure everybody leaves the park before they shut the gates close.


Navid.

I glad it all ended well. If you have a sense of humor, it's kinda funny ain't it. It'll be something to look back and laugh at in the future.
