I found this plant between a motorcycle repair shop and a furniture store. Is the plant, Ficus Carica? The leaves look like RdB or VdB! __________________ Zone 8 So Cal desert Wishlist- Rouge de Bordeaux, Fig de Parfum, St. Rita, Pastiliere, Norland, Smith, (Native) du Argentile, Col de Dame Noir,

Sure looks like it's a Ficus Carica from those leaves. I don't think it looks anything like RDB or VDB though. (You aren't busting us with those suggestions, are you?). Does it have any figs on it? Mike central NY state, zone 5a __________________ Pauca sed matura.

Seriously though the plant stretches for like 25 feet! There were no figs on it. When I get my fairings changed on my motorcycle again I'll see if it's got any figs. __________________ Zone 8 So Cal desert Wishlist- Rouge de Bordeaux, Fig de Parfum, St. Rita, Pastiliere, Norland, Smith, (Native) du Argentile, Col de Dame Noir,

Man I'll be surprise if they produce anything. That soil looks so depleted of any nutrients. Thing again figs will adapt. __________________ Jarrett Spokane, WA ZONE 6A Proudly Serving in the United States Armed Forces, 2009-Present Everyone should have a green thumb Figs: Nero600m

The plant is surprisingly very green and healthy. I'm going to get a cutting next time, just in case it is a decent fig plant. __________________ Zone 8 So Cal desert Wishlist- Rouge de Bordeaux, Fig de Parfum, St. Rita, Pastiliere, Norland, Smith, (Native) du Argentile, Col de Dame Noir,

Leaves look like they are covered with a powder or something?

The next door is a furniture shop, they cut a lot of wood so that plus dust is on the plant. Even though they are covered in dust and saw dust they look very healthy and green. Like I said its like a vine and is at least 25 feet long! __________________ Zone 8 So Cal desert Wishlist- Rouge de Bordeaux, Fig de Parfum, St. Rita, Pastiliere, Norland, Smith, (Native) du Argentile, Col de Dame Noir,
