I have had this little fig tree for about 3 years after my mrs bought it from a nusery. I have defoialated it a few times and and plan to defoialate it for the second time this season soon. I have no idea what type of fig it is and would really appreciate some help.
Thanks paul

I'm not so sure - the leaves don't look the right shape. My guess would be PJ fig.
