Just located a yard with 7 trees - 2 have really narrow finger lobed leaves - 2 others have not as narrow finger lobed leaves.  However, did not get a chance to stop and take pics.  But will soon.  What other than Brunswick has those type leaves - keeping in mind that this is Nashville (6b to 7 although in years past 5b to 6a)?  These are relatively mature trees.

The leaves look EXACTLY like my Paradiso ( Genova) fig from Joe Morle. Just need fruit to make confirmation, but right now I would say its a match.

They look like Dalmatie and Capelas to me.

I think this is the same property near my house and the same tree I dug 2 suckers up from last summer. I didn't count the total trees, though there were at least 5, of at least the 2 varieties. I saw a Hardy Chicago fig for sale at the Gardens of Babylon here in Nashville. Haven't seen Capela or Dalmatie. Have seen Celeste, Black Mission, and Brown Turkey for sale. Is Dalmatie the same as Brunswick? This arep is zone 7, I think.

Sorry don't mean to confuse the issue.  But I am confused on this group of figs.

My Dalmatie (aka dalmation, stella) has similar leaf to Brunswick but from the description of the fig it is different.  I am trying to get a Brunswick so I can do a side by side comparison of Brunswick, dalmatie and capelas.

My Capelas also looks like photos of Brunswick.  Both dalmatie and capelas are large figs, taste great, grow well and are cold hardy so I am happy regardless.  

Here are some photos of the figs the leaves look the same as photos in post above.

Hi,
Dalmatie and Brunswick are two well known and totally different strains.
