Variegated

“Striped”, Rigato, Regalto, Rimada. Variegated figs cannot be reproduced from seed. They are a very rare spontaneous mutation that occurs in nature once in a million plants. Then the variegated varieties can be cloned via cuttings.

Some variegated figs have very clear striping and are easily categorized. Others may have some light variegated characteristics that some may not wish to group into the variegated category. Striped varieties can “revert”, that is, to lose their variegated mutation.
