There are some new links in the 1100's. Including some info about the parentage of Condit's fig breeding efforts (1116) which I given a couple years ago, but was required to delay posting it. Most of this info is now reflected in the extended information about each pertinent accession in the USDA collection.

There is a new section under "Growing Tips" about "Care", to which I have started adding material. The "Care Sheet" from Paradise Nursery. entitle "Growing Fabulous Figs" has been added there, and more will follow. This section will be a work in progress for awhile.

Thanks Jon.

I was surprised to see that there were no pictures of Italian Honey in the F4F Varieties gallery today.  The ones I've seen have yellow/tan pulp, but Italian Honey references Lattarula, which is red interior.

Is this a mistake? 

At this point I have not fruited my Italian Honey (assuming it was correctly labeled). As far as Lattarula being the same, those synonyms are not mine, but from the sources listed. I have made NO attempt to verify or correct or in anyway try to sort out all the different synonyms. That is probably not really doable.

Fico Prata should be Figo Preto and Berbera should be spelled Bêbera.

Added pix for 143-36, Adriana, Anacapa, Brooklyn White EB, Catanzaro No. 3, De la Reina, Flanders UC, Giant Celeste, GM-20, Green Unknown, GT-1, GT-6, GT-J, Italian Everbearing, Jarrah, Jim JP, Jim's Choice, Malcolm's Giant, Malta Purple Red, Marabout, Marabout c Smyrnay, Maryland Berry,  Nazarti, Nuhurskii, Panache, Quantico

I can't seem to find Maryland Berry, nor do I see any new pictures for MPR/GM-1 (latest are 2008)?

Satellite, possibly you need to hit "refresh" on your browser. Cached websites are sometimes stubborn and not in a hurry to refresh themselves.
