I'm all jiggly all over!  I hit the mother lode today.  Was going back to take a pic of a couple of trees I found yesterday, when I found 70+ trees in 16 yards.  Found 15 yesterday in 4 yards.  Got to stop at one place today.  The old man didn't speak English.  His son came out to translate.  Had 10 trees all the same.  His neighbor in Iran gave them to him.  Did not know the name.  Gave me a dozen, unfortunately none were really ripe.  Breba and main crop.  An occasional one had split as we have had rain lately.  Says will let me get cuttings this winter.

Many of the leaves were like this, maybo not as deep of space between lobes.


The figs

The Holes at the eye tell the tale it could be a Smirna Fig that needs pollination by the fig wasp.
You can try growing and get lucky to be persistent without pollination,but be prepared for otherwise.

While I recognize that possibility, this man has been carefully cultivating these fig trees for a number of years - these are not small trees.  I wonder if he would cultivate ten trees of the same variety, if they dropped before getting ripe every year.  There are figs of varying degrees of ripening on the trees.  None were on the ground.

Looks like a tasty fig! If he has 10 trees of the same variety they must be good.

Caneyscud,

What you have found is called, white fig of Kan. It's a delicious fig when fully ripped. It does not need fig wasp. Last year I bought one in a 5 gallon pot from California, it produced about a dozen of figs that were very good.
Long story short, my aunt end up liking this fig so much that I gave it to her last fall. She planted it in ground (NC) in December and survived the winter fine. So, it's also cold hardy too.


Navid.

Yeh, the 10 trees this guy has have no protection whatsoever except the fence they are planted against.  No evidence of winter damage at all.  Its been a number of years since we got to negative temps, but a few times in 10 years in single digits.  So they have survived some colder temps.

I have something similar to this white fig. It also came from northern Iran.

Bass, is it in the ground?

Caney,
I would love to see photos of the grown trees some time.  If you ever have any scion to spare of this, I would be most interested to see how it does in Kentucky.   I am convinced that there are no figs in KY other than the ones that Mario, Bill, David and myself are now growing.  Actually have stopped at 5 nurseries in the last few weeks and made inquiries and every single shift manager/few owners said you couldn't grow figs here.  Needless to say I gave them the forum information.
