First off this is a great forum. I planted my first fig tree this past spring which is a lsu purple, I also ordered a black mission tree which arrived last week. I'm trying to post the pics of the leaves of the black mission but its telling me file is to big. I just want to know if that is what the leaves are supposed to look like. Thanks

Ryan...welcome to the forum...when you get those pictures posted I'm sure one of the members will be able to give you the answer to your question...have a great growing season, and good luck with those fig trees.

Ryan- Welcome to the forum, lots of great fig people down there in your area.

Thanks a lot, I'm trying to post the pics through photo bucket, I hope I did it right

Ok, it seemed to work, I have no fruit yet to show cause like I said it just arrived last week, the tree was stuck in transit for over a week and I was surprised that it was as healthy as it was. I grew up with fig trees around me but most if the old timers around here had Celeste fig trees, so I'm trying to teach my self about the many different varieties.

I don't think it is a Black Mission, Looks like a Brunswick/Magnolia.  Still a good fig, can be prone to splitting in high humidity/wet seasons.

Chk out the variety info here:

Thanks for the reply, that's what I was afraid of, especially with the high humidity down here, it was labeled blk mission, I guess I just have to wait and see

Welcome to the forum. click the link above Jon (maybe others, im not sure) put together a page that tells alot about the dif kinds of figs along with alot of info, pics of fruit as well as leaves. hope this helps.

Thanks everyone, I sure hope it turns out to be blk mission for the simple reason that's what I ordered, but it has a home whatever it is until it proves itself unworthy.

You have two good nurseries in the Lafayette area, J Robin and Durio.  They both have good inventories, good prices, and are known for accurate tagging.

That's good to know, I will have to look them up, I bought a few other fruit trees from the nearest nursery and a few out of those seem to be getting sick or something. They buy their fruit trees from another nursery and resell them. It would be nice to find a good nursery where they do all their own work. Thanks
