Nashville, Tennessee. I want the name of the figs in these pictures especially that has the narrow-lobed leaves and the large fruit. I took suckers yesterday off a mother plant that was about 12 feet tall and nearly as wide. One wilted a lot and I cut it back. I know nothing about figs, although I did kill a black mission fig from wal-mart before I ever got it in the ground.  I think I let it dry out too much. Hope to do better with these! I like these better than the Black Mission fig, anyway. Is there any chance that figs do better with a different variety nearby?  That is the only reason I would bother with also trying to grow the fig with the tiny fruit and the big leaves.
Thanks for any help!

Hello Lydia,
IMO, from your limited pictures, I would say that the smaller fig looks like a Celeste and the larger fig looks like A Brunswick/Magnolia.
No, fig trees (Common fig) do not need to be near other fig trees, in most areas the pollinating fig wasp can't survive, and you would also need a male plant for pollination (Capri fig). Here's a link with a better explanation http://figs4fun.com/Links/FigLink001.pdf

Good Luck.
