Can any of the members here suggest fig trees that may not have lobed leaves? I'll try to post a photo tomorrow.

Almost any fig can have leaves like that (single-lobed) when the tree is young, or even when a particular shoot is young. Leaf morphology is extremely variable. Most will make other kinds of leaves when the tree matures. Aubique Petite is one that sometimes makes single-lobed leaves even on mature trees, on the same tree that makes 3, 5, and 7-lobed leaves. There are others too.
Pauca sed matura.

I rooted a couple different varieties of Celeste this year, one of them, I think it was Improved Celeste that only had spade shaped leaves. I don't know if that is the typical leaf pattern or if it will develop lobes this coming year.

Around Houston, it's likely to be Alma.

My 3 Alma trees have a lot of single lobed leaves and the few 3 lobed, are very shallow lobed.. BTW my trees came from College Station, not the campus, but local.

Sorry, should have included more info that you all mentioned. The tree is young (~1 year), was started from a cutting, is in a 3 gallon nursery pot, was obtained at one of the fig meetings this year and I haven't had any figs yet. I'm anxious to find out what it is (reading between the lines means it is killing me having to wait to next year to find out what it is when hopefully I will get some figs to help ID). Thought is it might be a CdD something, but not really sure.

that's not CdD. i have CdDB, and maybe CdDN. the leaves are clearly different even at young stage.

Thanks Pete. Now the plot really thickens, can't wait to see what kind of figs I get off this tree next year. It is going to be a kinda Christmas in June/July/August. Wonder what it will be.

My LSU Tigers (not Panachee) have spade shaped leaves but they do not resemble the ones pictured. I have a number of figs that produce non-lobed leaves along with their other leaves but non that look like yours. Good luck and please keep us informed.

We have a fig tree with large, dark green, spade-shaped leaves. It bears heavily: medium-sized, flat-bottomed fruit with purple skin, lightly-striped, and very sweet pink interior. Does anyone have any idea what variety this might be?

My first-year JH Adriatics were all single lobes until they got to be 3 feet tall. Now they are starting to lobe a bit in the newest growth.
