Hi, I've been trying to get an idea of what these fig trees might be.  I've tried looking through the databases and looking up pictures but they all look about the same to me for the most part.  Fig #1 below does have some more distinctive finger like leaves.  All except a couple weren't labeled and those that were seem a little ambiguous.  They are from cuttings between 5-7 months old, about 1.5-3' ft tall, and in 1-2 gallon pots growing under 6400k 2 tube t8 shop lights.  My guess would that they would be more common local nursery varieties.  Would anyone have any ideas what they might be?  Is there even much chance of identifying them without having fruits to help?

Thanks.

           

There are over 700 varieties of figs and each one has a variety of AKA names.  On the same tree you will find different shaped leaves, therefore it's impossible to ID a fig without a photo of:

a.  The whole ripe fig next to a quarter for size comparison sitting next to or on a leaf.
b.  That fig cut open so we can see the inside.
c.  A flavor description
d.  A juiciness description
e.  Is it breba or main crop

Where did you get these trees?  Did you not label them or lose the labels?

They were given to me by friends and family that had fig trees but aren't fig enthusiasts so they really didn't care about or keep track of the varieties.  They just happened to be plants that they had in their collections of other
'stuff".  I'm new to growing figs and on a limited budget so I started with what I had available.  I'm on the lookout for some named varieties.  I'll be sure to keep the ambiguous names that I have on the two and will keep the names of any named varieties that I acquire with the trees in the future.

Thanks!

Hi,
If you explore the data on this link you may eventually get close to what your fig identities are.
As a bonus you may as well anticipate the fruit looks ... but never 100% sure!
Hope this helps

The first one looks identical to my green ischia but that just a comparison. I will go out side and take a pic and post it.

#5&6 look like Mt Etna figs or Hardy Chicago types

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to keep these in mind when they get figs on them.

Welcome, Don. Always nice to see another enthusiast close by.
