Those look great, figarita - it looks like you are taking good care of 'em! How long will you keep the January cuttings in the pot for (I am sneakily hoping I can ask for a cutting if you have spares!)

Hi guys,

This is quite an edifying discussion and I thought I would revisit it to ask the million-dollar question - does anyone have/know anyone who might have cuttings from the attached fig variety? I am only interested in this one variety with its deeply-lobed (3 lobes per leaf) and narrow leaves.

Fantastic - the names of those cultivars sound so poetic! 

The name of the article is "Morphological and pomological characteristics of fig (ficus carica L.) cultivars from Varamin, Iran" but it is not clear if the figs which were tested and discussed were in fact obtained from the Varamin region or whether they are wild mountain cultivars...

I have tried contacting the author to check, as you have also suggested, whether they are wild mountain figs or smyrnas.

Hi SoniSoni,

They are beautiful, aren't they:) The search continues!

Hi PersianMD,

I thought I'd post something here not necessarily to offer clarification but in the hope you may shed some light on this.

As per our earlier chats, I am after a mountain fig variety, which has deeply-lobed leaves, with 3 lobes per leaf.  And as  "anjeer kouhi" is the generic, descriptive term literally meaning "mountain fig" (is this correct?), I have been trying to reseach the specific names of cultivars with 3 lobes per leaf and there appear to be several:

*bidanhe, ligh-green in colour;
*paizeh, canary-yellow;
*siah zoodras, purple;
*siah bolbolriz, which is purple-brown, etc;

Do those names mean anything?

Regrettably at this stage I am not sure if any of them matches the picture I am using as a guide - none of the cultivar-fruits' colours are the same as the figs in the picture, which to my untrained eye seem purplish-green.
