I was gifted a panache last year and interestingly enough, when the leaves came out this spring, it has variegated leaves along with the wood. I was looking at it today & thought I needed to fertilize but the realized it was my panache!

Jenn, very nice! You should share a picture of it sometime. :)

Does anyone know for sure if a Panache Fig Tree has striped wood? We all know it has striped Figs but I didn't know about the striped wood? Some says it does some say it don't...  There should several members here with a Panache Tree...Any help would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks! : )

I have two Panaches from different sources. It does have variegated wood, but it mostly shows up the most clearly on the younger wood. Reverted limbs that produce non-chimeric figs don't have the variegation. Reverse figs seem just as tasty though!

Yes striped wood.

Hi Frankallen,
On Panaché, young stems are stripped vertically. When the wood matures, lets say after the winter, the wood reverts to all grey.
Sometimes washing the stem with water help highlight the variegation.
Sometimes in the leaves, when looking closer, you can see some shades/stains of green too .
If you have a cutting, you'll need to grow it for two seasons to be sure.
The stripping does show more when the tree is healthy and growing full strength. The bigger is the inter-node space, the better you'll see the stripping.
Mine is still small, just one year in my garden, and on one stem you can clearly see the nice stripping, and on the other stems with close nodes, it is much more harder to spot.

There are bushes for building hedges that you should cut back each year as only new growth shows a desired color ( like red, or yellow stems when young), and Panaché stripes are in that category . But as Panaché is grown for fruits, you often see Grey trunks and Grey scaffold stems with stripped wood and stripped fruits in the canopy.

So if you have a cutting, it may well be all Grey... So you need to grow it. In the second season, you should see the stripes ... and the stars are the figs . LOL .

I've had mine a couple of years. When I first got it the young wood was striped. Now it is more mottled than striped but definitely different from my other trees. No fruit yet but high hopes.

I was just researching "Panache Fig" this morning (in the wee hours as I couldn't sleep) and I came across this thread in the archives. And after reading the description and all the reviews, I was thinking about getting one. 
Then I logged on just now and find this threat at the front of the list! Some may think it's just a coincidence. I think it's a sign that I must have one. :D

That's great that you have a green house, you will have no issues getting ripe figs :) . I think any fig can be kept at 2 meters with pruning. One problem I have is rats taking my figs and the fig beetle. I think a greenhouse would keep all the precious figs for you!

This 3 year Panache growing in my garden.        

Very nice Vladis!
Do a percentage of your panache figlets drop? 

Pino,figs do not fall down. This powerful strong plant. In Russia, it is from 1999, introduced from the USA.

OK Thanks Vladis.
Just wondered if panache has a tendency to drop some of its figlets.

Those look simply divine, Vladis! 

Just for the record, when a Panache fig fruit gets a lot of sun sometimes the whole fruit will be yellow.

Very good looking figs! Are those ones pollinated? I can't wait to have bowls full of those beauties. ;)
