I saw this young fig tree for sale, took a photo to see if anyone could help me ID this fig. I want to know if it's worth buying it.

They told me at the nursery that the guy that sold them all the fig trees say that this figs are between black and red, whatever that mean.

Looks alot like my vdb.

Hi
My 2 cents on longue d août...
You would know more by raising her

I bought the fig tree. Here are some photos. Let's see what I get in the future...

Good luck with your new fig tree.

IIRC, the fruit may get more flavorful as the tree matures over a couple of years.  Is that right?  If so, you shouldn't judge the quality of the tree until it's gone through a few seasons.

I think it's always worthwhile to give a plant a chance.  Aside from some garden space, what do you have to lose?

Good luck!

Looks Great!!! It's going to be a nice looking tree. The eyes have that reddish tinge. Thanks for sharing and keep us updated. I'm thinking vdb too!

You never know!!

I tought it could be a VdB, but it's not.

Do you already have The VdB to compare each to? Mine has lots of single lobe leafs some 5 lobe leafs that have a long middle lobe ( longer than normal ) and some three lobe leaves, but the 5 lobe ones look the coolest.

Agree with JDS, LDA looks very similar.

I have a very young LDA, In a few months I should be able to compare them.
