Eftakia, a greek fig with unique leaves

Here's a Greek fig that produces  large green figs with red center that is suppose to have excellent flavor. The tree is left out with no protection over winter, and it is planted in a wrong spot among the corn fields. So it was all sprouting back from ground. The Greek man who brought it from northern part of Greece, said it is called Eftakia. 

Does the leaves remind you of the Vasilika sika? 

Beautiful leaves.  7 lobes.

And this one goes on my list based on the leaf pattern.  I think I may have a new problem...fig leaf-a-mania. 

Hi Bass.

Those leaves are very similar to the Haikel Lebanese tree I located here in Murray, KY. The fruit on the Haikel is not green though. More yellow with red blush. 

Here's the link to one of the threads where I had alot of pics of the Haikel. Look particularly at the far right pic of the leaves in post #13:

Looks Identical to my Colasanti #3 also supposed to be large green figs with red pulp.

I took these this morning of my Haikel Lebanese. As you can see there are alot of similarities in the leaf shapes. I really like the look of this tree. Makes a nice landscape tree.

I hope you don't mind me posting these Bass:
