Mitchurinska 10

[Tom from England]

Mitchurinska 10, main crop gradually turning more berry red, delicious honey flavour and seed crunch.

The leaf shape of your M-10 is quite strange, compared with general M-10 leaf shape

Looks more like a VDB type

Michurinska 10 = Florea. Such a good fig.

It does look like a VdB type of fig Tom, maybe ask your source if they carry any?

Thanks friends for your comments. I’ve had this tree for about 6 years, the fruit will ripen to a more rounded deep red pulp later in the year, I will send an update, I have VDB / negronne types and they have elongated fruits. Please also see more leaves just picked FYI. They can very considerably. But do have that deep lobed effect.

Here's a leaf from my Florea/M10 - looks similar.
