I have two L D'A plants from different very good and reliable sources.
Are they both L D'A ?


  

  

Kerry your first two pics look right For longue d'aout second set not so much.

Kerry here some pics of my LdA.

Kerry, my Longue d' Aout looks like your 1st set of pic's. Longue d'Aout has been assigned different names like
SLOCAN & MELANZANA MERDOSCOLA. I have these variants before. Since I found them to be similar I gave them
away. Just this morning I enjoyed some very good tasting main crop Longue d'Aout.

Pictures I just shot of my young Longue 'd Aout:



 

kerry, first 2 pix with slender lobes are the one i have also. great fig. not sure about what the second set of pix are. 

Not the best of pics but here's mine changed fertilizer and nearly killed the tree.

Here is my Longue d'Aout that was rooted from a cutting in Feb. 2013.  It has some FMV but grows well regardless.  I left one fig on and it ripened on Friday.  I was impressed with the flavor for a first year fig.  Anyway, Kerry, it seems to resemble more closely the first plant you show.  It looks a lot like the one that Nelson shows above.

Thanks for everyone's input.
I tried to get a note to my source of the second set of pics to see what info he has.
Is it me or does Feigenbaum's leaf pic look more like my second set of pics ?

My LdA looks like your first pic.  I have several in pots and they all show FMV, BUT the one I placed in the ground has shown absolutely no sign of FMV and has grown well over 2 feet tall since June.  I guess it loves the clay soil here.

Kerry here's a pic of my longue daout purchased from baud.

The owner of a big fig nursery explained me that it's possible to have different leave shapes but the same fruit.

What I recognised also when I joined the forum, the Violett de Bordeaux's in Europe have an extreme different leave shape than the ones that I see from the mostly U.S.users here.
The U.S. plants use to have big leaves with a kind of "five finger look".
The negronnes or VdB from France or Germany or the U.K. are less shaped with rounder leaves.
I wonder what might be the cause...

Slightly different strain of Bordeaux.  There are many different Bordeauxs floating around in the US, and it wouldn't surprise me that Baud's Negronne is its own distinct strain.

I can go out into my orchard, if desired, but I think my leaves in the photos at http://www.figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=6528903 look like those of the others and your first set.

Here is my LdA

Frank, you are right - no sign of FMV that I can see.  It looks very happy in-ground.

I was able to start two cuttings from the same source. One is full of FMV. The other shows no sign. Go figure. Since these are still quite young, I won't comment on leaf shape.

Still trying to figure out what this second one is that was sent to me as LDA , apparently originally from Baud.
Dropped all fruit in 2013 , 2014 and now some this season , seems like all are likely to drop.
Some thought it may be Melanzana M. but I don't think that one always drops fruit.
Has always grown very well , beautiful plant.
Any ideas of what it could be ?

      

The dropped fruit looks like this inside :

 

Kerry,
My LdA’s leaves from 2 different sources look different. Maybe yours needs to be pollinated? 

Hi greenfig ,
I'm guessing it needs pollination , but since it is supposed to be from Baud's stock originally , I didn't know if he sells varieties that are not common figs.

First of all this ,second fig is not Longue D'Aout.
As to what it is,I would not be worried if I was you.
Because if it drops in your place it will drop in many other climates.
Why it drops:
-Even if self fertile ,drops because is not adapted to your climate,and many others.
-If is cauducous and needs pollination,again is of no use to 99 percent of gardener in the us.
-My opinion:Do not sell it,get rid of it,in dumpster,so no one will have your frustration.
Keep,the real one and ,sell as many as you can.

Hi Vasile ,
I am thinking of using it to bud good varieties onto , but was still hoping to find out what it actually is.

Hi Kerry,
Here is my LdA. Example of young leaf and older one. Mine came as a trade with our good friend Ed. I'm really looking forward to this one. Thanks Ed.
Don't go by the color of the leaves on the first photo. The bottom photo shows what they turn into.
 

Hi drivewayfarmer,
The second one is not lda for sure, someone did a mix up - could be you or your source, so I wouldn't hunt too much for what it might be.
By the look of the fig I would say that it comes from the middle east and since it drops the figs, it is a smyrna.

I already dropped a tree that was dropping the figs and still have two youngster to drop as they do drop.
Some figs would ripen so I'm just waiting to taste them and if they are worth it I might wait a bit longer ... Time will tell.
