okee i will report about my seedlings,and thanks for the help ercan.In august i will be in dalyan again for a couple of weeks.I have a friend there who works in a gardencentre maybe he knows the name of the figtrees who grows there along the streets.

Can someone tell me if these fig tree leaves (my husband found the tree) are similar? I have this ine in the cloner & it started rooting within the firtst few hours---no exageration! Pls see my pics. I call it BEECHWOOD!

Thanks all!

Symfigs ,pls tell me which part of Turkey you get these seeds ,or is it from Turkey?

Hi Ercan: Its a tree near my home in Fullerton, CA. I started the cuttings on 1/3 and by that night there were roots growing. It was amazing to see. My husband discovered the tree. I have not seen the figs & the tree is small because they keep chopping it down. Like most figs, people see it as a weed.

I really don't good at identifying fig trees from abroad.If it is Turkish fig I can understand from leaves pattern but sorry for not helping.Maybe some experienced growers here will help you to identify its variety

Yes, that makes sense.

Maybe when you get fruit from it, it will be easier to ID. 
I have one that looks like it, but it IS a weed -a seedling from one of my fig trees that the birds started. It's so pretty with the wavy leaves I hate to pull it up but the strawberry pot it's in is going to get very small, very fast. I guess I could try to graft it, but then would lose the pretty leaves. 

Yes, Mara, that is definately the best way. Its a dormant tree now so it will be a little while but it is a FAST grower! We'll see. Your seedling sounds like its getting big. And yes, the leaves are so pretty. These Turkey fig leaves look very similar.

Hi Ercan, to which zone  type 208 is hardy and how many crops it has?

Yes it is hardy and can be grown in cold climates.It has one main crop .no breba.

I found a fig tree near my home that bears figs JUST LIKE this one! Please see my post here....http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/brown-turkey-cuttings-trade-7794665?highlight=bt+cuttings+trade&trail=50

It looks like about shape but yours colors is a bit greenish purple but mine is deep purple without green stripes.

Welcome, Ercan! You have some great varieties!  Glad you have come to share those great figs from Turkey!

Happy to introduce my Turkish varieties in such a wonderful forum.Thank you too

Siyah orak fig is our popular common type fig and it is very resistable for wet and cold climates.

 

Welcome to this forum ercan :D

Hi Ercan, I just joined your forum on figs....my favourite fruit! I will be visiting Istanbul in July as my cruise starts there. I would love to bring lots of cuttings back to Malaysia with me (I really love growing them) but was informed by my tour guide that the customs won't allow me through with the cuttings.
Is that true, please? Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards, Mee 2

hi Mee,
welcome to the forum..and appreciate to see you here in Turkey and help you my best.Keep in touch .

Dear Ercan, nice to know you
I'm from China, and I planted a lot of figS. I'm glad to read your information about the fig.
I'd like to know：
1) The varieties of the photo: on the website,it is called  WHITE PATLICAN , Are smyrna or common figs? they need wasp and pollination or no?   
2)The fig tree or fig saplings, propagated with branches(cuttings) or layering,can produce fruit within 1 year.
  The common type Fig seedings,propagated with fig seeds,How many years to produce fruit?

  Thank you !  

Just coming back from Istanbul where some majestic figs are simply growing in the streets or simply hanging over fences from gardens.

I couldn't resist to bring some cuttings home which also show the first roots in sphagnum. Let's see what I got there :-)

Figera, your trip sounds beautiful. Share pictures of your fig cuttings when you can. Thanks!
