This was an interesting one for me, when I took pix at a friends collection a couple weeks ago. I thought I knew this variety, but had never seen this leaf.

Obviously, a fig (F.carica) leaf!!!

Specifically, maybe; A.133, Aked, Cucumber, O'R, Zucchini...?

Not a Brunswick.

lokks like my ucd ratlesnake

Similar to Aked

Everyone is missing the obvious choice, and I would have, too, if I hadn't seen it in person.

This is Negronne, grown from cuttings of my tree, about 90 miles north of me. Most of my leaves have three lobes, and some with 5 (usually 3 with two smaller lobes, like this one has), but I have never seen 7 lobes on my tree.

Ain't frigs fun?

Jon,
not sure if you consider Violette De Bordeaux as same as Negronne, my VdB has some 7 lobe leafs .
I cant take picture now as its too darn windy out here and i started to freeze my Begonias off !

My VdB from EL has 90% 5 lobes like this and 10% 7 lobes (two little ones off the bottom like Jon pictured).

Jon,

The leaf looks halfway between the "Negronne" and "Petit Negri" leaves on my website under Dark Colored Figs.  Todd K. from NAFEX thinks the two varieties are the same, but my trees have different growth habits, the leaves of "Negronne" are much rougher & leathery than "Petit Negri", and the sliced Brebas of "Negronne" have violet tinged meat while "Petit Negri" doesn't.

I've posted a downloadable Microsoft Word.doc of my Fig Variety Photo Identification Proposal on the website as well as a downloadable PDF of Ira Condit's "Fig Varieties: A Monograph" for anyone interested in expanding on Condit's work using the Internet and digital photography tools we have today.

What are the chances of getting you to update the link to my new website instead of the expired one currently on your Figs4Fun website?

Kiwibob,
Chances aren't good for a little while, yet. I didn't even see my trees yesterday because of work, and didn't get any pix taken, either. Fall is coming (please say it is so) and I will have more time. I have a long list of changes to accomplish.

Hi Jon,
Scoot who posted his leaf and i have the same VdB from edible landscaping.
Here is 2 pictures of my leaf. I tried to take pictures of the original parent plant which is bigger but the leafs are all curling making it hard to do so, this plant propagated this year is 2 feet tall and display like the parent plant lots of 5 lobe and 7 lobe leaves.
I have a ronde de bordeaux and have seen the petite negri one in pictures, i personally think there all kissing cousins ( related ) . Seems that in the fig world there are types that are what i call related to each other . To me this is one of them.

I have a few identical leaves to Jon's negronne on my Negronne I received from French neighbor who brought from France.  Negronne is a very distinct looking variety.  Ate one off the tree the other day, it was dark, could have left on another day, but the wind and the cold and rain is here with a vendetta and I didn't want to loose it, It was tasty.  It had little white freckles I call on it.  Ciao

My Negronne looks like that.
