I have been eating figs since I was a kid, but just started growing them.  This might be something "normal" for some of you, but I seriously have no idea (Noob status). On my Violette De Bordeaux, there are 2 places that have what appears to be 2 figs growing from one stem.  The figs are still fused together, but looks like they are trying to separate.  It looked interesting and unusual to me so I thought I'd share.  

Yes that's two fig fruits fused together. It happens in many things even human babies.

Sure, I'm just wondering how unusual it is for figs to do this.  Hopefully they ripen together, that would be nice.

Hi SM.
I dont think i have seen this yet with my varieties.
What is the soil type your using and were did u obtain the cuttings?

Maybe a mutation/sport if it happens frequently.
I have someone in my family that has 4 kids -2+2 tweens without any treatment or IVF.

I got this tree from Saladbeardfarm on ebay as a tissue culture. They also sold me a "Black Mission" that was NOT a true BM cultivar. Although you cannot tell, the area with the weird figs is between just 2 nodes/bud points. The figs below it and above it are developing normally. This is the first time this tree has produced fruit so I will mark the area of the weird fruit and see if it happens again.  The soil I use is Miracle Grow Potting Soil moisture control mix. I fertilize regularly with plant food, and about 4 months ago used some Dr. Earth Organic fertilizer. 

EDIT: This is my Petite Negri, not my VDB, sorry.
 
Thanks!

Oh that looks cool. Imagine if we could make plants that produced double fruit like that.

Unlikely scenario: If the plant continues to produce this anomaly year after year, and the anomaly is good quality fruit, then I will make a cutting and see if this mutant keeps on doing its thing. 

I had no idea this could happen, thanks for posting some great pictures and keep us posted if this becomes a regular trend. Enjoy double the fruit!

I will keep you posted. Hopefully there is enough time left so that this fruit will ripen and if so, then I will post an update on the "Frankenfigs".

Tissue culture uses chemicals (often colchicines) that are known to cause occasional mutations.

Twins! :D  I've seen a couple pics where it occasionally happens but not to common.

musillid, Thanks for the information. I think that is what happened here.

I found one like that from my English Brown Turkey Just recently. Well to tell the truth, my wife spotted it first. Would be fun if that was a permanent mutation, that could be propagated. What should we call it ?

I myself would go with "sugar twins"

Looks like fig balls to me!

Omg lol
