Leaves only on branch tips?

The habit of the Weeping Fig was a big surprise, but its tendency to produce leaves only on the branch tips was almost as startling.  I'd never seen a fig that didn't have leaves all along the branches.
Is anyone aware of other figs with leaves only on the branch tips?
I asked this question on the GW FF and got one response: Calvert.  Are there others?
Thanks for any help.

I have been reading all of the old posts to pick up as much info on growing figs and info on the many cultivators . I am interested in seeing some some photos of any Weeping Figs any of the members here have and descriptions of how they performed.

When all else fails, do a SEARCH!

Thank you Cecil
..........Fignut those are some cool pics on garden web . A very interesting cultivator .I would be interested in an update on how the cuttings you rooted from it are doing ? Any other member have any weeping figs to share info about?

Leaves only form on the new growth, so if it grow from the tip, the leaves will be at the tip.

Glad you pointed out the wheeled kart Tom .
That certainly would make moving the big ones in and out of the garage a much simpler chore.
