Serrated leaf ??

Is there any fig trees that have a very serrated leaf? I saw a bush that resembled a fig with leaves that had little points all around. I really need to learn how to put pics on the computer. If there is maybe someone can post a pic, thanks.

Serrated like the one shown here? http://extension.oregonstate.edu/mg/botany/leaf_id.html

yes, similar to incise. not sure if i spelled correctly

Serrated leaf fig - them edges looks a regular wood saw teeth.

Wuhan and Verde [E: I meant Verte] figs come to mind...

Serrated margins in figs are fairly common. Incised in a mature plant...not so much. Perhaps the Afghanistanica fig. Just do a search here for it and you will see photos. A pic would be helpful.

Verte and Preto

Here are a couple of my plants/trees that have Serrated / Saw toothed leaves.

Are these want you mean?

Nice leaves Nick. What types of fig trees are they from ?

Serrated means 'saw like'  like 'wwwww'.

Just like the normal 'cross-cut' or 'rip' ones - forget the exotic tree felling chain-saw, etc...
Guess what the 3 leaves in the pic are from....

Hi Luke.

Sorry that I'm not a " Expert " and may not know the proper Botanical definition 
of what you meant when you wrote " Serrated or Saw toothed leaves "

Please accept my sincere apology .

I am fairly new to both fig collecting, and proper identification, please forgive my
brashness as I only desired to possibly contribute to your thread. 

If my photos above are in-fact what you meant to describe,  they are as follows:

First Two:      Ficus Afghanistanica.

Next two:       Ice Crystal.

Bottom four;.  Esphahanian Iranian Fig.

Hey Nick,

 

Thanks for the names of the figs. I need to go back and ask the owner about these. As far as I know they might not even be a fig bush. I thank everyone who gives input, for this is how I'm learning. Nick, there is no reason for an apology. I love the site because everyone is willing to help with answers and their kind opinions. Its all good.

George
1) green ischia
2) wuhan
3) Afghanistanica Type 1
What do I win?

You perfectly guessed #3.

Sooory, but you win nothing ... as nothing was offered...
Besides, you already got your Wuhan...

These are the 3 leaves.
#1 & 2, I say that  they are "serrated";  but not sure what to call #3 - maybe "lacey" ?

#1: A (small) leaf off my Wuhan fig (SSE-LA MC R 06).
#2: A leaf off one of my few (tropical) Hibiscus (yeah, I grow some of those too).
#3: A leaf off one of my 2 (different but decorative) F. afghanistanica (Forest Farms).

Haha george as long as I got them right I am happy.

Luke, my guess is-Oakleaf Hydrangea. They have tricked my eyes plenty of times at ten paces. Add the fact that there are ten times as many planted as figs and it is a certainty that a fig hunter will have their hopes dashed eventually. Notice that the leaves are arranged opposite rather than alternate.

Mine was Johannes. Afghanistanica is simimlar, though more crenelated.

Jon I was gonna guess bay rum. Good thing I didn't. Like my 100%
