Hi,
I randomly bought this fig from ebay and it did look healthy in the pics. Its a 'blue province'. However as you can see in the pic its leaves are strangley shaped, smaller and some mottling of the color... is it fig mosaic virus? or just immature?
Thankyou!

not mosaic virus, looks more like a result of too much sun or water, or perhaps premature application of Hot nitrogen fertilizer.

Think Blue Province is more sensitive than other fig types to both.
Both mine have same leaves.

Phew! Good to hear it doesn't look like the virus. I have probably over watered it thinking it would help in its early days but I guess they are tough and I should just let it be. Thanks for the advice and I am glad the leaves fit the profile of that particular fig.
