Last year I received a fig tree from Edible Landscaping that was labeled Violette de Bordeaux. I initially put it in the ground then dug it up and re-potted it after realizing that it was not growing well.
This summer it is doing great in pot but very late to show fig embryos.

I already know that the leaves on this tree do not look like a Violette de Bordeaux nor do they look like any other leaves on any of my trees. I also know that it is not Beer Black since I bought one also and the leaves are different.

Does anyone have a tree like this one? It has small fig embryos and I’m hoping to be able to see some fruit later this summer. photo 1.JPG  photo 2.JPG  photo 3.JPG

Sas,
my young Negronne (source: Baud) has several leaves that looks that mulberry style, but not all of them.
It is like some branches have lobed leaves and some of them are like yours.
If wanted i can post a picture of mine when i get home from work...

they are both from the same family...I have a Marylane seedless with 6 leaves, 5 of them are just like that one single lobe, heart shaped.

Thank You for your response guys.
I guess , I'd have to wait and see if these leaves revert to what a normal fig leave should look like.
I find it amazing that this is the only tree I have that has all its leaves like that.

I have two young Vistas (genetically identical to VdB) and they both have 100% single lobed leaves (so far).

Hi Sas,

I think you have Aubique Petite.  Though the pics in these threads don't show it, some of the trunks and limbs on my Aubique Petite are filled with only the single-lobed leaves, just like your mulberry-like leaf.  I've also heard of Negronne (VDB) doing the same thing, though my tree of that variety doesn't.

Seems there was an older thread somewhere with a post by by Bass that had additional pics.  Anyway, once you get figs from that tree, it'll be easier to know.
