Get a pic of the leaf

Get a pic of the leaf

Everyone always says the leaf is not a good identification so i didn't even bother the leaf is over 15 miles away and I'm not going back for another almost 4 weeks when the air a layer is done

Leaf by itself doesn't do much. But leaf and fig along with pix of the inside help with ID. Or so I'm told...

Argghh i threw everything out i had 3 different trees going and there all in the same garbage pale no way to figure out whats what anymore i could probably find the unripe fig to take a pic would that help ?? .....Update i just went outside to try and find the mystery fig.. i did but it is covered in earwigs and all dried up i had cut it opened earlier and threw it in the garden oh well 

No clue. I'm really bad at ID, but those are the three thing more experienced people seem to ask for.

I got nothing but time at this point with these air layers and when they ripen up then we will all see whats on the inside :) but only I will truly no how they taste.... 

Harry's Green looks like a yummy fig  is it a white or a dark fig? thanks for sending the cuttings  out so fast, yours are going out Monday after I raid my friends trees , talk to you later, Dave

No its a white fig and it has a pink center ?? so ive been told 

When it's ripe, you will probably be able to ID it. Please keep posting pics as the fig changes color and shape. So far, it reminds me of a Brooklyn White Italian, but it's lopsided and I don't know if they produce lopsided figs. I agree with with the guys on leafs. All my figs have leaf variation within the same plant. Also, so many leaves look so similar with the exception of some of the Portugese figs I've seen.

One of the leaves looks like one of my Russian Brown leaves, the way the veins are symmetric in number, but appear forked because the leaf itself is slightly asymmetric. I haven't been around long though. That fig looks like it has the makings of a large fig. I bet it develops a neck and starts to droop soon if it's not a Brooklyn Italian.

Yeah tell me about it all three trees had the same basic leaves on them. Not all the figs where lopsided i think it was just a hand full at this point i don't remember I will probably go back in about 2 weeks to check moisture in the bags ill take pics then 

Well it gets 2 crops so im assuming within the next couple of weeks they should be ready to pic
