The attached leaf photo is from a Fig tree in my neighborhood. I've watched it over about the past 7 years and it has never produced a single Breba crop Fig, and until this year, never a Main crop Fig! In late September there were a few small Figs about 1.5 inches long and one of them was starting to get a dark brown stripe coloration on the skin at the apex. A neighbor told me that the owners picked their first-ever soft Figs this year from the tree.
The photo is cropped to about 17 inches square, so the leaf is almost fit to wear ;) Those two shiny spots are quarters, and the leaf is of the dominant form on this tree with some leaves larger and many leaves closer to 2/3 this size.
Does anyone know of a Fig variety that meets this sketchy description? Although it isn't a variety suitable for Fig production here in Seattle, those wearable leaves sure look interesting.
