Good day, here is a picture of my Georgia White fig.  This tree was one of the first to leaf out this year.  It has a beautiful leaf pattern and the figs were quite good, very sweet.  Not as watery as Atreano.  It was more crunchy seeds than my other figs.  This tree is growing in a pot and loves lots of water!  Thanks Herman!  This one is a keeper!  Enjoy!

An interesting fig.  Looks like there's no honey or jelly.  Was it soft and fully ripe?

Looks like Laterolla shown by BLB...

Hi Dennis.
This fig is from John Dayton Collection,and is found in Georgia.
I thought it is good for your climate and so that is why I sent you a rooted  cutting.
If it got ripe now in your climate it will be ripe here,in about a month,and so after September 1st.
What I like about it is that it is exactly as John Dayton told me it is,that is closed eye and resist souring in Georgia.
If it does in Georgia hopefully it will resist souring here in NJ,but I did not get ripe fruits from mine yet.
Your tree is same age with mine because it was just another cutting that rooted,the same time.

I'm with shah8 on this one.  Looks like Latarolla as pictured by BLB an a couple of others recently - all are ripening right now, too.  Doubt that's a coincidence.

Dennis & Herman,

Is that the same one John calls his "White Hybrid Unknown"? Mine is growing like a weed, but isn't fruiting at all, and the leaves on mine look quite different (see photo, taken today). How old was yours before it fruited?

Ken, I'll let Herman respond.  I got my tree from him last Fall.  Jason, I don't have Lattrola yet.  I will compare it to one next year.  I will say my GW is a fast grower.  It spreads like Galbun.  I like the figs.  It goes in my orchard this Fall.

Bump.

I will be comparing my GW to my Lattarola this year.  The leaf patterns are different but the fruit has a stricking resemblance.

It is not Latarulla at all.
It is similar to Atreano,and Fico Santo,but I am not ready to say it is the same.

Herman, I agree...it is similar to Atreano.  My Atreano is jucier than my GW. 

I believe I have this fig that I got from John Dayton also. When he sent it, he labelled it as "Georgia Fig Hybrid".

Ps, this is the link John sent me at the time referring to this Georgia Fig Hybrid. I hope this helps. Christy

I have this fig. It needs some heat to ripen fully.

Dennis, it seems to me like you have a habit of harvesting your figs before fully ripening, you get dry look in your pictures, I thought those figs would need at least 4-5 more days to get sweeter and full of syrup, nevertheless they look great in pictures.
Thank you for sharing these pictures, I have always enjoyed and appreciated them ;)

Aaron, it's not my picking....the figs are falling off before they are dead ripe.  Especially my GW.

I know several people who like their figs best at that stage.  One was a gal from Puerto Rico who grew up eating under ripe fruit because that's how everyone picked it for shipping.  Can you imagine growing up in fruit paradise and never tasting a truly ripe fruit.  What horrors are visited upon our youth!

I think the same thing happens with bananas with some people. My great grandfather owned a produce mart on Market st, in Newark when he got off the boat from Italy years ago. My dad would tell me stories of him. One of his fondest memories was when he would bring home the really ripe bananas that no one would buy because of the way they looked and him and my dad would eat them together. He would tell my dad that those people never got to taste a banana truly at its peak and how they were missing out just because they were afraid of the black spots, yet, the bananas need to get that ripe for them to be at their peak flavor and at their sweetest.

John had mentioned to me a year ago in an email "the Georgia white Hybrid (I'm calling it that now consistently to avoid confusion)".
Yes, this will avoid confusion about the name for this variety.

I received it in trade as Georgia White Hybrid.

I'll email John and ask him about this fig.  For now, I'll leave the name Georgia White.  More to come....

Dennis
Yes, you can verify with John the extract from John email to me stating:

" .............the Georgia white Hybrid (I'm calling it that now consistently to avoid confusion)".

oh wow, I just realized!!!
there are the pink-red dots inside of a creamy pulp. Amazing, This Egyptian lady was describing their figs when I took a cutting from their tree few months ago... She was going on and on about the black fig having a cream inside and red dots... Red dots...I thought she was confused so I kept smiling because her english was so broken yet she was excited to describe their fig...this is the tree they have in Burbank.
