Yes, maybe this variant from hybrid...

Hi Eddy,
 All of my VDB limbs carry 5 lobe finger leaves now. You may get different leaf variation again when you transplant your young VDB.

Leaf shape doesn't affect flavor.

I have seen Negronne with 1 lobe, 3-lobed, 5 lobed, and 7 lobed leaves. The 3-lobes are very distinctive for the variety, but certainly not the only ones they grow.

Hi Phil.. Yes.. VDB also identic with negrone..

Lots of interesting Negronne information here. I have one that is growing in a Bills Figs container that I bought from him. It's a real winner and has that jelly bomb flavor that I love

another my little negronne fig... half spades leaves, half 3 lobs leaves in one branch... :D

Agreed with you Coop :D

This is not so unusual.  One of my Negronne (aka Violette De Bordeaux) trees does this consistently.  The other one hasn't so far (over a 4 year period).  But I have an Aubique Petite tree that does this consistently... with some 7-lobed leaves, some 5-lobed leaves, occasionally 3-lobed leaves, and some "single lobed" or "entire" leaves.  That tree is consistent on a limb-by-limb basis... each limb is consistent (either 7-lobed, or 5-lobed, or single), but across the whole tree it has a variety.  Here's an older thread where I posted some pics:
http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/aubique-petite-6571479?highlight=aubique+petite&pid=1280024675

Within that thread, it makes reference to another thread that had additional pictures of the same tree from the year before (2012 I think).

Good luck with your tree... Negronne is a nice variety, and so is Aubique Petite!

I have one that shows 3 lobes.

Hi... speedmaster, whats the name of your local variant ??

Mine is exactly the same.  I have heard that this is very common.  Im not sure why though.
