Colasanti Farms Italian Figs

OK Last year I spoke to Terry of Colasanti Farms about my First fig tree I had bought. After speaking to him he told me they had two types of Italian figs a Dark & a White and the white had Brusnwick type leaves. I recently bought another 2 plants from Colasanti Farms with different leaves again. If they only had 2 would should it not be able to tell wich is wich???


Colasanti Italian #1 Now Dead dog destroyed it





Colasanti Italian #2 ( Dark )








Colasanti Italian #3 ( Possibly White )







Colasanti Italian #4 ( ??? )







All I can say is, more fig confusion. Plant are beautiful and healthy looking though.

Thanks Tim, Yup very confusing will have to grow them side by side next couple season's and see if I can figure this out.

Hi Nelson
i dont understand what you try to figure out with these plants, can you explain to me little more im most curious.  ; )

Hey Martin, well apparently they only have 2 Italian figs a White Fig & a Dark fig. The Dark fig I have two Plants of wich I already Know its the dark as My dad ate a ripe fig already and its definately dark. The white fig has Brunswick type leaves so If I had to assume I would say its the #3 I posted. What I dont get is #1 & #4 the leaves dont look like the other two so thats whats confusing me.

Nelson
ok i understand more what you mean now.   There is a side veiw of 1 with figs im having hard time with as it does not show complete plant. 

Can you  reshoot pictures of just the 2 ones in doubt  standing over them with camera shooting downwards on them . 
Then a sideview shot of complete plant.
2 of each 4 total pictures ?
I know there very young at this stage but those newer pictures may help and may not.
If too much trouble i completely understand.  ; )

These Darn Colasanti figs are driving me nuts lol. Martin do these pics help???









nelson, its very hard to find the fig doc to get you the right antidote. Only suggestion is laugh more & hope for "miracles". You know what I mean. ha ha ha. thanks for the miracle laughs.

hahahaha Glad you enjoyed Paul I was laughing for a bit myself lol.

Let us wait until the end of the season when the one with leaves with few lobs will get more leaves. The newer leaf of this plant with more lobs appear to be getting closer to the ones with Brunswick like leaves.

Nelson hope i was not a pain in the breba.
The plant with mullberry leaves (heart or roundish shape) is dark fig plant and the other is the white fig plant.
Please let us know how the dark one taste .
As for the white one well...............  ; ) 

Hi Nelson,

How are we to read this?  "Now Dead dog destroyed it"?  Does it mean just the tree is now dead, or the dog is dead because it destroyed the tree?

Vivian

Vivian dog is doing well, unfortunately for the first plant I posted it is now dead.

Here is what the dog did

Hi Nelson,

I'm glad the dog is alive and well and am sorry you lost the fig.  Very frustrating, young dogs, but leaving them out when alone can result in unbelievable mischief, as you know.  I have a boxer who is probably ten years old and I wouldn't dare leave her loose in the house without us there, bless her heart.

Vivian

Vivian you gotta love boxers. Even though cyprus is turning 2 this month hes  a nutcase the stuff he does on a daily basis just makes me laugh, considering he talks back like hes a human lol. That day he destroyed a total of 5 or 6 fig plants.

Oh wow.  He's a lucky dog, then, that you are a good man!  I'm not sure boxers ever really grow up and think that's part of their charm.  Sandie and I still play hide and seek and chase each other around the house inside (She's only 42lb--a tiny boxer.) and out.  We'll meet, face to face and I'll stay still and so will she and then I'll kind of jump and she play bows and we're off.  I love that dog to pieces.
