Big thread of Fig seedling's

Love the leaf pattern
I have some seedlings that I did not see figs on for ten years, but we may have been busy with managing the avocado grove and not noticed so I am not sure. Squirrels also are known for eating them all when they are green. I am seeing new seedlings this season, so I can time them. I dug up a few to get them away from the avocado roots, since they would have been cut down by my partner who doesn't understand the fig thing. Obviously the birds are sitting in the avocado trees and pooping the seeds out in the root zone where they are watered. We have a larger amount of female figs than we should, so I'm not sure why, or what is going on but I'm also not complaining.

When you plant fig seeds and they finally sprout.
You may wonder if it is figs or some kind of weed.
All Ficus Carica seedlings start off with single lobe leaves
that don't really look like a fig.

Those leaves are stellar! So healthy too!
I imagine starting from seed also means less chance of starting with potential disease or pest

Seedlings are clean. And as far as I know. I don’t have Fig mites here. So they should not get any FMV. Just hope some of them produce very tasty figs.
