ID this ''special'' fig leaf

I bought two big trees today and as a bonus I got two cuttings from another tree but the owner had no idea what was the variety. I happens that the leafs have a special shape. I saw these types of leafs before I cannot remember the name of the variety. I think the fruit are green but I am not a 100% certain since I was in a rush when I arrived.

This is not much info but the shape of the fig might be a good tip..



I just edited the image.

I was only able to get two cuttings with young leafs but all the "older" leafs had these particular shapes on top of the leafs.

any feedback is appreciated

Hi Dan,

My avatar is the unk purple Portuguese fig my boss has. I doubt it's the same cultivar as the cutting was brought from Portugal in the 50's but it is close. Good eye!

Dan,

It does look very close! Here's a link to a larger leaf image and what the fruit looks like:

These are not good pictures, sorry. I will take more pictures and post them in a few days.

in terms of pattern your Gino is a match. Now I wonder how many cultivars have this pattern...

I will need to let the cuttings mature and produce fruits to find more details...
