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.

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.http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/doesnt-look-like-petit-negri-but-is-it-5930769?pid=1283563854#post1283563854 http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/doesnt-look-like-petit-negri-but-is-it-5930769?pid=1274630559#post1274630559 http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/the-two-different-leaves-of-petite-nigri-5968270?highlight=aubique+bass&pid=1274618155#post1274618155 http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/aubique-petite-6571479?pid=1280016132#post1280016132 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. Mike central NY state, zone 5a
