I have some that look like that too. I noticed on one when up potting the fig pop the soil sorta broke away there was a bud forming in the soil which would come out from soil. I still have hopes it survives and growth comes up. I think the top wasn't viable but below possibly will survive. It appeared to have good root growth. Don't know I haven't given up on them yet.

That is understandable. I'm over 100 rooted cuttings now with more still rooting. I think Fig #4 is a Magnolia Fig. I was looking at the fig fruit and leaves online this morning. The fruit was delicious last year but the tree was young. Stan said it was some form of Turkey fig but he didn't say it was a Brown Turkey looking right at the tree with fruit on it. He did say he wanted one of the cuttings I rooted by Air Layer so I think he thought it was possibly Magnolia too. I do not see a Magnolia offered by him and as soon as I told him it was ready he was here the next day.

So you think the cuttings labeled "turkey" are Magnolia? I need to look that variety up, I'm not familiar with it.

No, Turkey is correctly marked. I had a limited amount of #4 cuttings because I bought the tree last year from a local nursery without a tag on it. It was mixed in with a shipment of Black Mission fig trees they received. I don't think I sent you any #4 or #2 cuttings. #2 comes on green striped but turns mahogany up to the neck when ripe. You can check to see if I sent you any of those but cuttings were very limited.

I didn't get any number markings. I looked up the Magnolia fig. I think that will be a good one.

I have a #1 #2 #4 fig tree till they are identified. #1 is a wonderful fig too, #1 & #2 came from fig people given to my bud who was a underground supervisor for a local power company.

Well took a direct hit from a tornado today at 10:30am. The damage to the new greenhouse and fruit trees is bad. When I get the pictures sorted out I will post some up. Taking pictures for the insurance company. No worries about us, all good, we have experience rebuilding........

Oh no! I hate hearing this.

We have rough storms tomorrow. I’ve done everything I can to protect our plants. I think we have chance of tornado too.

i did not see any storms in Lake County tavares area?
