Hello! One of the leaves of my Martinenca Rimada is Jolly Tiger-like. Is this a form of variegation or something else?

Keep us up to date on this one. It looks like a beautiful fig. I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Sure will. I have not tried any figs yet but I am hoping that the ones on the tree will ripen soon. I planted it a little late this year.

Mine has not had any variegated leaves. Take a look at the stem at the point the leave emerges. Is there a wide stripe there? I have a Panache branch that as been putting out variegated leaves from one side, all emerging from a light stripe that is wider than normal. It has continued up for about a dozen or so leaves so far.

Id like to hear about how the fruit tastes when someone gets a nice ripe one.

I picked several this year and they were good to very good. Seems like a productive variety. Mine is still in a large pot.
