I do love the fig plants with the long finger shaped leaves.  Thought it might be fun for people to show some of their plants with the longest finger leaves.  I will start it off......plant is only a couple months old.

Here's a beautiful unk, one of my prettiest and most vigorous plants. Might be a mission based on photos I've seen of similar leaf pattern. This is new growth after dying back to the ground. Maybe next year I will see a more mature leaf. Edit-after looking at the open attachment, the picture is compressed looking and not nearly a long as the leaf really is. The unopened attachment pic is more the natural scale. I'm still learning how to add pictures, maybe I will always have problems using an iPhone... Mike in Hanover, VA

Here is my Unk. Dalmatie.  Leaves from 3 different plants.   Shape seems to change depending on where it is planted in ground and containers different still.

Like I said it is a big leaf but it does not have long fingers.  Compare the leaf you posted to what everyone else posted they all get it......

Nelson,

They both are very nice but agree with Frank that #4 is spectacular.

Thanks Guys, I too like this particular tree. It has some figs but don't think they will ripen in time.

Found another 2 photos of this fig, was labeled Italian fig "Brown Honey" sold by colasanti farms last year was the first time I seen this fig for sale.

Wills,

I am shipping this one to you. If you are successful rooting let me know. I should have waited until dormant, but if this one doesn't take for you I have about 7 more, but it is getting tough typing;( finger.jpg

I think most of us were thinking more in terms of the middle one, Wills... until I read your post fully.

Could have made it a hot girls finger instead since I am going to grow the clone......bear in mind I prefer brunettes.

Here is a Tissue Culture VdB that I purchased from Wellspring Nursery last fall. It was the size of 2 skinny tiny pencils. It went dormant in the winter and it was in my garage until the spring. I then put it into my home made SIP. It was a slow start and then took off like crazy and grew about 4 feet this summer and looks very healthy. There are 2 figs on it that I let be and they don't look like they will ripen this year.
Either way its been a great start, and nice fingers
