Hello,

I got some cuttings from Madeira from another fig collector. We don't know the varieties yet.
One of the cuttings has a quite interesting leaf shape. It looks a little "rectangular".
Of curse we have to wait until we can also compare the fruits an the other cuttings of this plant. But I was wondering if we could collect some varieties here with a similar leaf shape.
Do you know some?

Greetings from Berlin, Germany.

@ FiggyFrank:

I completely agree! It was just my eagerness. My idea was the following:
Normally the first leafs of my cuttings or plants coming out of dormancy have no specific leaf pattern. There are almost all just roundish or more oval. The pattern develops with later leafs and of course also differs from leaf to leaf or brach to branch. But since this particular cutting already has a special pattern I thought of collecting here varieties with similar patterns. So my plan was not to determine the variety now but to have some names later to compare if the pattern goes on (eagerness I told you..).

@ lampo

I did not plan to get the cuttings. But someone I know was on Madeira cutting almost a completely suitcase full of different fig cuttings. There are all named by numbers and 3-4 people in Germany got pieces of them. So we can compare together and try to finde out what varieties we have. We know nothing about the fruits but we know that there all do fruit!
And of course I would love to see your pictures! :)

Here there are. Some are still in moss.
