My nero 600m is not a slow grower, I also got mine from herman2 last summer and it more then doubled it's size. It is not the fastest grower but one of them.
@ Steve,  I beleive I also got my cddn cuttings from you. They are growing very good and are very healthy. The first one I moved to 3 gal pot is about 2&1\2 feet tall. The bottom leaves are single lobed and the top is 5 lobed. The second one was just up potted the other day so it is about half the size of the other but it already has a fig forming, all of its leaves are single lobed but I'm sure not for much longer.

Ryan, glad to hear you are having success with CdDN!

I received a start of Nero 600 from a member a couple years ago, most every leaf was unlobed like that branch, but as it has matured, the leaves look more typical of this variety

My tree has both type of leaves. You got it from me I believe.

yes indeed Jason, I did and it's doing fine, hope you are as well! 

Yes Jason I traded you for the Long D'aout how's it doing by the way? 

Hey Steve, yes the cuttings you sent me have the two different leaf patterns. Seems to be typical though. I can tell you that the one with the single lobed leafs its growing very fast with a much larger root system than the other cutting. The other one is growing fine, just not near as fast and it has the five lobed leaf pattern. I up potted it recently and the root system was not near the size of the other cutting. Im starting to add light fert feedings to it now so I will see if the leaf pattern changes. I remember a recent post by Wills where he had a pic of 5 RDB rooted cuttings and all them had different leaf patterns. Just the nature of the beast I guess?

I'm not left out. I have a Nero 600 with the mulberry leaves and one with long fingered leaves. The mulberry leaf Nero came from Harvey. I never thought I would want one but I am excited to have both.

I have 2 different types of figs with this name. One is like Dave's in the original post with branches having spade and long fingered leaves.  The other I have is thus far indistinguishable from my RDBs in every way.    I think someone mislabeled somewhere, but either way BOTH figs are excellent growers that produce WONDERFUL fruit!

Normal for many immature and often fast growth, the leaves will change back later.

Nothing like fig leaves confounds so many....

I've also seen this on my VdB, seems consistent that there is one leaf type per shoot, although maybe I just haven't looked close enough consistently

In its big growth phase this summer my bourjasotte Noire made some leaves with no lobes that were 2x as big. I agree people that say that the leaves vary in shape when young and growing fast.

Grafted tree or sport.

I have Panachee with a Jolly Tiger-like sport branch.
