Is this a fully variegated Panachee, with variegation on the leaf as well as the green shoots?

A new member joined yesterday to put up a wish list. They say they have Jolly Tiger, but who knows, not us! Sorry I can't help you out with JT Marius. Did Kathleen's Blk strike for you?

Jolly Tiger actually was introuced to the USA by Asiatica Nursery who is no longer in business. Not sure where they were based but it was not in Philly. Celt, you must be thinking of another source? I do knwo that Meadowbrook Nursery just outside of Philly had some as they got cuttings from me.

What if your fig that is not a JT is doing that, but with lighter and darker greens? Is that FMV or a mineral deficiency (which mineral) or too much nitrogen?

I am one of the members who traded with marius. Will post pics as soon as she has some foliage, she is just coming out of dormancy. Its funny some branches has the variegated leaves, others maybe one or two. If you want her just ask.

No- that's often a misconception. Jolly tiger has variegated leaves and sometimes figs.
