Hi komkom,
Welcome to the forum.
Your tree looks great . What a niece conversation piece !
Do you have fruits too ?

Looks beautiful!!! They look the same to me.

That is one gorgeous tree!

komkom, Jolly Tiger is a fig that came from Japan to the USA. It was introduced by Asiatica Nursery in Pennsylvania which hasn't been in business for several years.  However, I confirmed with the owner earlier this year that he made up the name as the tree did not have a formal name at the time.  A friend of mine in Thailand has visited the creator of this tree in Japan a couple of times and that individual (the creator) was confused about this name because it's not one that he had assigned.  I don't know how it was created but this guy has numerous species of variegated plants.

The odd thing about this tree is that it produces two different types of fruits.  I had one large tree that produces solid colored fruits but saw others who had fruits with stripes.  I had a visitor to my farm a couple of months ago who talked me into selling him my large tree and today I saw he posted a photo with a striped fruit on it!  On top of that, my friend in Thailand recently posted a photo with both forms of fruits on the same branch.  This just seems so strange but makes it a bit more fun with such unpredictability.

Komkom, very nice tree. It does make for a great conversation piecebesides the fruit being so good. Congrats.

So cool.

Definitely a beautiful tree....
