I do love the fig plants with the long finger shaped leaves. Thought it might be fun for people to show some of their plants with the longest finger leaves. I will start it off......plant is only a couple months old.

Here's a beautiful unk, one of my prettiest and most vigorous plants. Might be a mission based on photos I've seen of similar leaf pattern. This is new growth after dying back to the ground. Maybe next year I will see a more mature leaf. Edit-after looking at the open attachment, the picture is compressed looking and not nearly a long as the leaf really is. The unopened attachment pic is more the natural scale. I'm still learning how to add pictures, maybe I will always have problems using an iPhone...

Thanks Guys, I too like this particular tree. It has some figs but don't think they will ripen in time. Found another 2 photos of this fig, was labeled Italian fig "Brown Honey" sold by colasanti farms last year was the first time I seen this fig for sale. __________________ Mississauga, ON, Canada Z5B/6A

Wills, I am shipping this one to you. If you are successful rooting let me know. I should have waited until dormant, but if this one doesn't take for you I have about 7 more, but it is getting tough typing;( __________________ Phil N.GA.

Could have made it a hot girls finger instead since I am going to grow the clone......bear in mind I prefer brunettes. Quote: Originally Posted by strudeldog Wills, I am shipping this one to you.

Here is a Tissue Culture VdB that I purchased from Wellspring Nursery last fall. It was the size of 2 skinny tiny pencils. It went dormant in the winter and it was in my garage until the spring. I then put it into my home made SIP. It was a slow start and then took off like crazy and grew about 4 feet this summer and looks very healthy. There are 2 figs on it that I let be and they don't look like they will ripen this year. Either way its been a great start, and nice fingers __________________ Coop Northern NJ Zone 7a
