Interesting trend , I had bought three scions from someone on eBay this fall, they all were small cuttings that rooted well but slow. They all show this trend. When repotted into 1G pots after two weeks the light green shade fades. Note they are along the veins of each leaf, all indications were lack of nutrients when researching the issue. I found it odd given they were the same soil mix as other ones which you all have seen pictures of and are green as St Paddy's day! I'll repot this one and see, but suspect now something else with the tree these came from.

I have heard/read that there are [at least] 2 'Red Lebanese' fig varieties going around... I have none, so I cannot comment on any. __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

There are two different varieties, Lebanese Red/Red Lebanese/red Lebanon. Mine I got it from a friend, who refers to it as the Tripoli tree, At some point it came from Tripoli, Lebanon. Marius has one from the Bekaa Valley (Eastern Lebanon) which looks different. Here's Marius fig http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Red-Lebanese-fig-pics-5987567?highlight=bekaa __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

I have the cells out for evaluation. I assumed it had some infection, but the discoloration on all leaves only along the veins is odd for FMV, so I suspect it maybe another form. I have seen FMV and rust come out fairly quick in other scion over the years, but not this. So I will see what comes back, for the time these will be separate from the rest, actually they will go a trip to my sister's house for the time being. I have Red lebanese scion from others on this forum currently rooting so we will see the differences. __________________ Zone 7 Celeste, White Marseilles, Beer's Black, Green Greek, White Italy one unknown, Chicago hardy, White Naples, Portuguese Black, Italian Honey.Black Bethleham, Sal's C, Several unknowns.

To be clearer on this matter, I think it should be clarified that Bass refers to his Tripoli fig as "Lebanese Red" while Marius refers to his fig from the Bekaa Valley as Red Lebanese. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

FMV, not to panic. Often shows up in first growth on new cuttings, or in humid conditions. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

I know this is an old post, but any opinions on which is better, are both worth having? If you could only have one which one? __________________ Drew Zone 5b/6a Sterling Heights MI
