It may be JT as mine sometimes throws all white leaves. If a branch that produces all white leaves becomes dominant through selective pruning you could end up with that. 

Love it Marius.

cool

Happy birthday, Jennifer. Just saw your sig ;-)

Nice tree.

Happy birthday Jenn.
"gene"

Suppose it turns out to be a virus...

 

Looks like a very sick fig to me!
I prefer normal green leaves (and good fruit too).

Happy birthday to you Jenn. Variegation in plants is indeed caused by a virus, but don't get all shook up it's pretty common.

I have one... An all white leaves. Jolly tiger is from Japan originally.
Mosaic virus should not be confused with Chimera which is what the jolly tiger and panache is

That is cool looking!!
Now if it would produce an all white fig,that would be cooler!!
With that in mind,has anyone ever had an all white fig?

It might bear a ligh yellow fig produced on this branch. I did get a black fig from the all green branch.

This is a silly question: I am wondering, because the pigment is albino and not green. Does it have resistance to sunburns? Seeing that green absorbs all colors of light but reflect green etc etc.. Scratching my head. But I am curious.
