No answers to previous post, so... is it possible to ID a type of fig
tree by pictures of tree, leaves, and/or growing fruit, or do I have
to wait 'til October when the fruits is ripe (clue!) to pin this down?
These are growing in SE Virginia, USDA zone 7b.
7b? [web search... fig hardy to 0 degrees F, so ok] they might be
sassafras, but if you see little hard green figs, (and you should have
seen ripe figs by now) then it's a fig
otherwise, figs varieties are difficult ot determine. friut on one tree
can visually vary much. and growing conditions cause a lot of variatoins.
ira condit (uc riverside, i think) was teh expert who classified figs
(50's and 60's i think) He (with assistnace) found many synonyms!
