I guess I'm beating a dead horse by bringing this up again, I almost hi-jacked Martin's thread so instead I figured I would start a new one. Anyways I asked if anyone has ever seen a a negronne or VdB display leaves like the 3 plants I bought for me and my family at Durio's and some said yea they have seen leaves like that on a young VdB. My question is has anyone ever came across a VdB that never displayed the long finger like leaves? I gave this one a little time and all the leaves that come out are solid. A few figs came out and I left two on just to see.

I know it doesn't look like many leaves but it shed more then half of them due to fig rust.

I had a Vista  (AKA Violette de Bordeaux) plant that had one-lobed leaves for 4-5 years before having fingered leaves. Even now, 3-4 years later most of the leaves are one lobed.

Thanks Jon. That's what I was wondering.
