JH Adriatic cuttings were received in March 2010. Thanks Ricci. It has taken some time but this year about twelve fruit have ripen. It is better than advertised. It is a medium sized (35g average) green skinned with a deep red pulp. The figs are sweet, dark berry flavored, syrupy, slightly acid with a nice light crunch. In a taste test, I believe that JH will outpace many of the more heralded dark figs.

outstanding.  I have two that I started this year.  Looking forward to the fruit.

JH Adriatic is a good fig. had one tiny figs off of mine this yr. looking forward to next.

JD, how would you compare it to Battaglia Green? Is the taste different enough to justify having both in your opinion?

  Thanks,
   Peter

They do not ripe the same time,Battaglia is 2 weeks later in ripening,soooo,if heavy rain shower Adriatic JH,They might miss Battaglia,so that is why in many difficult climate both are needed.

Herman , thanks for sharing your observations!

 Pete

They look GREAT.   I have a small plant that I hope to get a few off of next year.

Herman, or others, refresh my memory,  how cold hardy is it?

Excellent pics. A fantastic fig, congratulations. Sadly my plant did not set fruit this year

Thanks!

Peter,
Here in 8B Battaglia ripened a few weeks before JH Adriatic. If I have to choose a green fig, then I prefer them both. They are head a shoulders above all green figs that I have tasted and for my taste, better than many dark figs. CdD Blanc has a good reputation but it is slow growing here.

Even though I'm definitely 'dark-leaning', JH Adriatic is one of my favorite figs - very good flavor, and productive. And pretty.

Also have Bat Grn, but it's too young for fruit. Seems to be a vigorous plant.

what a beautiful fig JD!
Your figs has 2 different color skin .is the yellowish one grown in shaded area?
Thanks jd for showing photos :)

Nice colors....

JD,

Very nice set of pictures and a wonderful fig !

Francisco

Thanks Francisco and Pako.

Asep,
The skin is green. The first two photos (of the same fig) were taken in a hurry and in poor light because I was surprised to find it and so happy to eat it. It was almost ended up like most of the figs this season: eaten and not photographed which happens to be the preferred method of the other two fig eaters in our household.

Thanks for clarification JD...
