Hello,
A plant contact person in Sweden sent me a fig leaf photo. This is a fig that comes from Patmos (a Greek Island) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patmos and it is apparently a Smyrna type, requiring pollination from the wasp. I do not have any additional information. What is interesting to me is the design of the serrated edge all the way around the leaf. I did some searching, but haven't found a match - it is not that important to find a match, I am just curious if anyone has seen a leaf like this one.

Thanks
Ingevald

The fig I found on Willow St that looks and tastes like a Mission has leaves that look like yours, 5-lobed and serrated on the edges. It is a pretty leaf.

Sue,
Thanks for the reply - The pictures that you posted look similar. There are several figs leaves that look similar but don't seem to be an exact match. The serrations in the photo appear to be more rounded and not as pointed as most of the leaves that I looked at that were displaying this characteristic. It is interesting what one notices when attention is given to such details.
The Mission in my collection does have serrations but the leaf itself seems be more complex than in the photo from Sweden. Other figs that had serrated edges of one sort or another were Wuhan, Roeding 4, Roeding 3 (not mature enough to count lobes), Sals Corleone, Paradiso (Gene's), Guilbeau, Shar Israel, Scott's Black and Blackjack. Many of these plants are immature and their leaves are not as fully developed, but the serrations are there, with variations of roundedness.
It is an interesting exercise in observation if nothing else.
