| Does anyone have a fig tree? Or does anyone know about botany or genetics as it applies to botany?
I was just looking at my fig tree while I was watering it and I noticed that the leaves are different shapes. I was under the impression leaves on pretty much any tree come out pretty much uniform, but I counted three different shapes on my tree. Some are pretty much just broad flat leaves and some have a notch on the top on either side, the other variety had notches at the bottom as well as the top.So my question is...Anyone who has a fig tree, would you please inspect your leaves, purely as a curiosity interest. I'm wondering if all fig trees are like this or if mine is a hybrid of some sort, maybe it's just a genetic mutation. Or maybe this is all perfectly normal in the realm of fig trees.Thanks for your participation in my quest for useless knowledge. : ) |
