A friend bought Jolly Tiger cuttings on ebay and they were supposed to be variegated. It has leafed out and looks solid green, no variegation. Is this normal?

Did they look into the seller? One of the biggest scammers on eBay sells jolly tiger.....

Do you by any chance know his name? We both are new to the fig world, we wouldn't have known this. She did contact him but no reply yet. He said it came from a very variegated branch.

I believe I see verigation on the cutting. If so be patient they could start coming out verigated.

I would get the sellers I'd and search this forum to see what there experience was.

I have the same problem with my Jolly Tiger bought as a cutting on eBay. I purchased from a trusted seller that stated it came from a highly verigated branch, and it did. From my research, it takes six month or so to produce verigated leaves.

This is my jolly tiger rooting from cutting few weeks

Richard's cutting is what mine have looked like as well...sections of lighter and darker green when the leaves are young and pushing out.  When those leaves mature they should show the full difference in color across the leaf.  If your leaves don't show this variation when young they probably won't later, but you might end up seeing the variegation develop on other shoots.  Let the cutting grow strong before removing any non-variegated shoots, but over time you'll need to prune out (and destroy...don't pass on) the branches that aren't variegated in order to maintain the variety.  It's a sectional chimera and needs constant selection to maintain the variegation. 

Its such a tricky variety to grow from cuttings. As far as getting the varigation.

Is yours doing ok Brian?

Doing great

Usually the owners of JT will eliminate the reverted (solid green) branches to encourage the variegated ones to grow.
Selling the reverted ones on ebay as variegated would be considered not fair sale, since reverted leaves have very little to no value and shouldn't be sold as JT.
There isn't, yet, any grower who has gotten variegated leaves out of reverted JT that we know of. Not yet anyway.
On the other hand, the fruit on reverted is as delicious as  on variegated.

Even the wood of my Jolly Tiger cuttings are striped (variegated?)
