Post your Favorite Fig Leaves


@"TorontoJoe"#1 It’s supposed to be a Palmata variant which has the single lobe (and I think the red petioles). This should have been placed in my post below.


@"Charlie Dodgson"#164 Is it a Ficus Palmata variety?
 
@ah-figlet 
All Ficus palmata have single-lobed leaves. Anything else is a hybrid or a different species.

Also, there are other Ficus species with single-lobed leaves.

Cherry Cordial is not a Ficus carica.

[font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]"All Ficus palmata have single-lobed leaves. Anything else is a hybrid or a different species." If this is the case. Than Ficus Pseudocarica does exist. As it has lobed leaves. But to be honest. I believe Palmata has subspecies as well. I have one of them.[/font]
[font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]"TorontoJoe Cherry Cordial is not Ficus carica" You are correct. It is a Carica/Palmata hybrid

There are about 800 other species and 800 x 799 hybrid possibilities.
 
Richard, I just thought it funny when you posted that. Since we have gone back and forth over it. You very well might be right. But than again. I may be. What we must understand is someone made a mistake years ago. And for some reason we have argued about it a lot. Two trees one with spade one with lobed leaves combined. You, I must say are better with the book side of things. Maybe you have an idea who made the mistake? On another note. I mentioned before as kinda a joke but somewhat serious. What if Carica was a hybrid itself? A cross between Palmata and Johannis? Some thing to think about.

Species are defined by observed physical characteristics of a natural, wild (not feral) population. This excludes hybrids and landraces.

By this definition and many observations, Ficus carica is a species.
Likewise, pseudocarica are not a species, but likely one-off hybrids (crosses).

I'll vote for Ficus johannis subsp. johannis.
 
My posts are all messed up too. My comments to Joe (that CC was a Palmata) and Charlie (asking if his photo was also a Palmata) were combined in Charlie’s post.

@"TorontoJoe"#1 for the potential bug.

My notes show CC was proved common in 2020. I’m curious to see where this reply ends up—I’m skipping the comments for now because too confusing.
 

@"Figology"#21 , yeah I noticed it on your posts before. It started happening on my posts in the last day or so. I started tagging people so they’d know which comment was directed at their question.
 
@Figology My CC tree has a mix of “mittens” and spade-shaped leaves.

@"The Figtator"#4 reported in 2020 that the mother tree was 85% spade leaves. I’m still waiting for mine to fruit, but it is an exceptionally vigorous tree (like it grew 15 ft this summer). It has one fruit left, that is too late to ripen and too tall for me to get a good photo.

I disabled the custom comment feature so things will look a bit different but everything should work correctly now. Sorry about the glitch.
