First things first, a bit of an introduction
My name is Mike and I've posted a few times but I figured I would let you know a bit about my intro to figs. About five years ago I purchased my first fig tree from a garage sale in Michigan(I was visiting family). I brought it to Texas and the following year had my first fresh fig! Woo hoo! I was hooked! (It was id on other forum as kadota) To top it off our dog decided to sample the tree itself and I ended up propagating my first cutting in an attempt to salvage what was lost. I now have 20- 30 trees and about that many varieties,Thanks of course to the fig pushers on this and the other forum (many thanks to all of course).
​Now, ​​​ on to the ID help needed. I came across this tree next to the local sonic last year. I propagated two, one in pot, and the other in ground. I sampled one of the figs from the tree last year. It is a green fig with a deep red interior with no void. Excellent flavor, and the shape of the fig looks to be similar to black Madeira. I didn't snap a pick of the ripe fruit. Anyway, the leaf pics I posted are what seems to be the common shape. What do you think? Thanks for all input and for the hospitality here!
