Are Green Greek as sold by Dureo Nursery in Louisiana and White Greek sold by Encanto Farms the same variety.  If they are not, can anyone give a comparison of the two?  God bless.

Hi Marcus
both of those are unknowns
they could be the same or very different.
here in greece we have many awesome named figs, but just as many unknowns.
i hope that helps you.

Thanks.  After I posted question I found an extensive thread on the subject and ended up more confused than I started.  God bless.

Actually there are 2 different White Greeks.  One is from Rafed who is no longer a member here.  Jon of Encanto Farms does sell that one with RK at the end of the name to distinquish it from other White Greeks which are different from the one that Rafed sold to Jon.  Green Greek as sold by Durio Nursery in Louisiana is a late bearing fig and is freaking good!  But don't get me wrong about the one that Jon sells.  GG stays green and is beet red inside when ripe  Here are a few pics of GG that Durio sells...

 

 




   

White Greek RK sold by Encanto Farms is one of my favorite!  The leaves on it are HUGE!  The figs are larger than GG and ripen much sooner.  I do have a picture of WG.  I just have to find it.  But the figs are golf ball size and have a very sweet and rich gold center.  My tree has quite a few large breba on it right now.  Get one of these if you can!

The other White Greek has long finger like leaves and the figs are elongated too and the center is beet red and very sweet.  Another good WG fig to get!

Thanks Dennis.  The reason for my question is that I had ordered a GG from Dalton Dureo, so I'm glad to hear that it's really good.  When you say that it's a late fig, how late?  Should I expect to have trouble ripening it here in Zone 8B South Georgia? 

I also ordered Dianna from Dalton.  Does anyone know anything about that fig that you can share?  Their description of it sounds good, but they don't give much to go on in terms of flavor profile.  God bless.

It will ripen in late August and September.  If you're in Georgia, it will definately fruit for you.

Deanna is not a hardy fig for my climate.  It might grow well for you but mine did produce, it just dies back every year.

How would you compare Green Greek to Green Ischia / Strawberry Verte?  I have a mature one of those, and it's my favorite fig tree so far.  I love the strawberry jam flavor.  Somewhere, maybe on here I read that Green Greek was also strawberry jam like.  From what you say about it's ripening time, I'm guessing its a bit latter than Green Ischia, but other than that, are  there any glaring differences?  Just curious.  God bless.

As for the Deanna, I have a protected spot in find for it on the south side of a lake house I co-own with my sister and cousins in SE Georgia.  I figure my sister's and cousins grandkids will enjoy them.
