He has the thread(s), so do I. I will not share them because it would not improve the situation.

I am sorry for Art and others who are missing out but my conscience is guiding me on a narrow path. What is at stake is more important than red pigment.



I don't know what this is all about, and honestly? I couldn't care less about these petty squabbles. I expect there is 'right' on both sides. There always is - that is life. 

But...People are deleting entire threads forever that would have helped inform people not involved or just wandering by - including information and the time and work of people uninvolved and who are only interested in figs.

If people want to take their time and delete their own individual posts, fine, go ahead. But entire threads including other people's input? That's just not fair.

somhow out of all the cuttings , the israely big red (adom gadol) shows red tips and leaf stalks..
do all the tree with this phenotype produce black-red figs? i dont know.
maybe its like panachee that has varigated branches. the tree shares the phenotype in the fruit and in the branches as well maybe? 

i know some members here grow israely red and maybe they can collaborate?

ill post pics of my israely red later...

update:
this is a pic i found on the web of israel red.

I agree that it is a bummer Gina. Soon after the threads were deleted they were recovered and a plan was being formed to repost the info. That never had a chance to happen though. If anyone really wanted the info they could have recovered it on their own before it was gone, or they could still ask Dom. I imagine that would have happened on its own though, so things are the way they are. You can lead a horse to water...

The issues were not petty either, at least to some. Issues like using other's photos and arbitrarily naming figs have caused this forum and its members real problems.

that Israeli Big Red was what i think i was looking for some time ago. candy apple red fig. there was another thread about red figs. someone found a fig tree with candy apple red fig. things didn't go well with his local nursery and the plant wasn't purchased. but everyone wondered what the fig was. i saw one from Israel that was candy apple red on the net before and wondered if that was the one, but never found the name or the pix again.

My Black Mission and Texas Everbearing have reddish tip.

This is my Black Greek with red tips and a little FMV






Red-ish/pink-ish new growth tips are and indication that fruit is 'dark'.
Note the young later under-side ribs too.

Also, a red-eye on the young fruit indicates a dark pulp.

Many dark figs do, do this...

George, thanks for sharing all those indicators. I was not aware.

Red tips doesn't always mean it id a dark fig, most often yes, but in Baud's book he shows a red tip that is for a white fig.

>>> in Baud's book he shows a red tip that is for a white fig.

I'm interested to know the exact name/variety of this 'white' fig ...

My picture is from a white Marseilles, it's not as red as some of the others tho.

My mistake, it was Sultane showing red tips and then Doree showing white tips, I could have sworn that it was a dark fig with a white tip but my apologies for the mistake.

Mike I think you have a rust infection, not FMV. keep an eye on the undersides of the leaves for the rust to form orange spores in those spots.

Brent, maybe the photo is not doing the color and clarity of the plant justice. Try using your computer zoom (view zoom in). It is definitely not rust. I am very familiar with that. With the zoom in feature you can also
more clearly see the tale-tale signs of FMV.  I have two of these Black Greek plants from the same cutting and they both show the brilliant red during leaf break and afterwards the red tinge of the leaves
and the red veins. Thanks for your input though.
  

Fig with red tip year was 2009 when picture taken, ah  the memories.

My Malta Mission with red tip on right side of plant with new growth.


Hi Mike. I think it is rust because when it forms on young leaves the initial symptoms are mottling like that. It could still be FMV, but my BG never showed any last year also. There is discussion about it here. I saw lots of it this spring after a large tree got it and gave it to the little ones nearby. Conditions have been very wet and humid here also.

I just think you should keep a close eye on spots like that. Maybe look around to see if there is a larger plant that has the typical symptoms. It takes a few weeks for the rust to turn orange in those spots and up until that point I don't think it can spread.

Sals Blk Unknown displaying red .

Mike yes i agree good chance its FmV,  here is a plant with Fmv from last season and it display again this season but not as bad as some plants get a little better with it as they mature from my experience with it.

Cracked me up at time when i posted picture as someone said what's that plant with the measles  ?

Rust comes here in yard around  late Sept .

Red tips can also be caused by culture and weather.  Cold nights in the spring time (which we've had a lot of here in the northeast) is one of the conditions.  Lots of sun but wild temperature swings.  I saw it on many trees this year, including Kathleen's Black, Aubique Petite, Valle Negra, Gino's Black, Vert, and Maltese Falcon.  That last one surprised me.  But I also noticed it on both Pine Oak and White Oak (which I hadn't seen it on before either).  There are other variables besides the cultivar of the tree that can cause red tips and red tinting in the stems and leaf petioles.  Oh yeah, I also saw it on Raspberry Latte, but I guess it's pretty much always there on that one, regardless of the weather and the soil culture :-)
