Hi everyone. Is it possible to ID an old fig tree without a fig fruit? Found this old beauty today in an older irrigated neighborhood in Phx . Looks like it was in a yard that has been turned into condos. I'll have to visit it in summer to look for fruit, Great knarly old tree with huge leaves. Love to hear your opinions.

I absolutely love that old tree The shape and configuration are wonderful. Larry

I would for sure ask around to some of the residents. That's a fantastic tree and it didn't happen there by accident. Beautiful.

I've never seen a bad fig tree with that kind of leaf  :) 

Jodi, it's just a guess but it reminds me of a Black Mission

Well thats a knarly fig tree for sure. They leaf says its,a good fig ;)

Black Mission was the first thing that came to my mind too. I have a baby BM and the leaf is really similar.

That's a beautiful tree. It's amazing how well they grow in Arizona. The leaves look like those you'd find on a violette de Bordeaux

Oh a VDB! That would be cool. I've never seen or tasted one of those. That would be great! Can't wait to see what grows on this tree in 2016!

Hi Jodi - did you ever make it back to this tree to get a look at the fruit?  Curious to know if you found out anything about it.

A great find! What an amazing tree, Jodi! Definitely keep us posted!

I would check it earlier next season for fruit. its a very nice find.
