Both of these figs grow extremely well in Nashville, TN zone 7. These pictures are from August. the ones potted up are the ones I decided I wanted to plant in my yard. The tiny ones with the big leaves were as tasty as the big ones with the small leaves, but I thought bigger fruit was better. I also wondered if the I should have gotten one of each in case it helped with pollination or helped the plants be more productive, like with some other fruiting plants. I am sure I can get a cutting of the other variety if anyone thinks it is a good idea. I am not sure if the ones I have made it through the winter yet. The picture of the cut open fig is the one with the large fruit and small leaves.
celeste-left brunswick-right in the first picture. This is a guess, but the fact that it might be hardy enough to be growing in the ground and probably purchased from a larger nursery that has more of the "common" figs rather than more of the exotic varieties. Brunswick fig is large and can be very good melon-y flavor if they don't split and sour. It has the large finger like leaves, too. The size and color of the other ones seem to be celeste along with the leaf pattern.
My best guess would be that in the first photo the one on the left is Celeste and the one on the right is Brunswick (aka Magnolia).
. I am not surprised that one is Celeste, except that I thought it was some freaky variety because the fruit was small. Glad to have a name for the other one. I like "Magnolia" better than "Brunswick"--it's a prettier name! LOL. Should I try to root a cutting and grow a Celeste as well? Is there any benefit from growing 2 varieties? Other than more variety and more fruit, LOL. Do 2 varieties support the health of each other?
Silly me, I asked this question last year when I first got the figs and ascpete answered me! I had forgotten till I searched my posts. I know I meant to, but thought i had problems posting pics. I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the confirmation, though!
