Give me the finger

I do love the fig plants with the long finger shaped leaves.  Thought it might be fun for people to show some of their plants with the longest finger leaves.  I will start it off......plant is only a couple months old.

This one is a youngin' too.

Sorry...should have mentioned what it is:)  It is a ?  I don't like unknowns but it was sent so planted it.  Glad I did as I love the leaves, hope the fruit is good.

~what type is it do you know the name~

Here's a beautiful unk, one of my prettiest and most vigorous plants. Might be a mission based on photos I've seen of similar leaf pattern. This is new growth after dying back to the ground. Maybe next year I will see a more mature leaf.

Edit-after looking at the open attachment, the picture is compressed looking and not nearly a long as the leaf really is. The unopened attachment pic is more the natural scale. I'm still learning how to add pictures, maybe I will always have problems using an iPhone...

That is just a big leaf, not long fingers.

the middle one is 10 inches long, not enough for you?

Like I said it is a big leaf but it does not have long fingers.  Compare the leaf you posted to what everyone else posted they all get it......

Beautiful leaves on #4, Nelson.

Nelson,

They both are very nice but agree with Frank that #4 is spectacular. 

Thanks Guys, I too like this particular tree. It has some figs but don't think they will ripen in time.

Found another 2 photos of this fig, was labeled Italian fig "Brown Honey" sold by colasanti farms last year was the first time I seen this fig for sale.


Wills,

I am shipping this one to you. If you are successful rooting let me know. I should have waited until dormant, but if this one doesn't take for you I have about 7 more, but it is getting tough typing;( finger.jpg 


Use my famous rooting system with 100%, LOL

Strudeldog,
  It's good that you sent him one that already had nice calluses formed ;-)

I think most of us were thinking more in terms of the middle one, Wills... until I read your post fully.

Could have made it a hot girls finger instead since I am going to grow the clone......bear in mind I prefer brunettes.

Yeah kind of meant it as a pun......I really expected Rich to comment by now....probably with a proctological type remark....

LOL, Ole Dr. Bigfingers!

Here is a Tissue Culture VdB that I purchased from Wellspring Nursery last fall. It was the size of 2 skinny tiny pencils. It went dormant in the winter and it was in my garage until the spring. I then put it into my home made SIP. It was a slow start and then took off like crazy and grew about 4 feet this summer and looks very healthy. There are 2 figs on it that I let be and they don't look like they will ripen this year.
Either way its been a great start, and nice fingers
