Hi All, I bought a tree labeled 'Brown Turkey' at a nursery in Houston. I am pretty certain it is not. The leaves have seven deep lobes and are large. I am trying to find out which varieties have seven lobed leaves to narrow down the field. Any responses are appreciated. ~james Attached Images DSC04560.JPG (106.00 KB, 74 views) DSC04562.JPG (116.25 KB, 76 views) __________________ In containers - Littleton, CO (zone 5b) In ground - N.E of Austin, TX (zone 8b) 2016 Wish List: Dārk Pōrtuguese, Grānthāms Royāl, Lātarolla, Negrettā, Nōire de Bārbentāne, Rockāway Green, Viōlet Sepōr, Viōlette Dāuphine.

Wow. That is definitely not like any Brown Turkey I've ever seen. It's been a while since I dug through the variety database...maybe I'll trek over and dig through a few to try and find something similar. Right off the bat, it reminds me of Ficus Afghanistanica or maybe Brunswick. __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8

I am thinking Brunswick, though it seem a little more "frilly" than the usual Brunswick leaf. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Question--Are even the "bumps" that are often on the bottom two lobes of leaves considered lobes by themselves? I have a Smith tree that has five deeply cut leaves and most of them have those two extra bumps on the outside lobes on each side. I've been wondering about that.

Ira Condit considers this a 5-lobed leaf with basal lobes "auricled" in his "Fig Varieties: A Monograph" (Hilgardia, February 1955) which is downloadable as a PDF on the first page of my website: http://sites.google.com/site/kiwifruitsalad2 It is interesting reading, but nearly impossible to identify any specific variety using his written descriptions. Enjoy, kiwibob, Seattle __________________ See my Website: http://sites.google.com/site/kiwifruitsalad2

Barada? ;) http://figs4fun.com/Thumbnail_Barada.html I ran across this one tonight while researching, and it reminded me of this post. Also, Vasilika: http://figs4fun.com/Thumbnail_Vasilika_Sika.html __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8
