Hoping to get some feedback regarding Latarolla. I received a nice tree from the donor two seasons ago. This year it produced an abundance of large green figs with an orange pulp. It may be that this is the first crop but it did not strike me as having much flavor, even when the figs were dead ripe. I am going to give it another season under my conditions.

The fruit gets better with age. Every year should be an aprovment

My tree was as big as the rest and did nothing but drop figs.  It's on my watch list

Dave:
Thank you. For me, it produced a lot of beautiful figs and I get the sense that there are some undertone flavors just waiting to develop. The tree is also FMV resistant and vigorous.

Ironically Latarolla did not drop one fig but other varieties did. Go figure.

Hi Leon.
My latarolla produced a ton of figs, and with all the rain we had they didn't have much flavor, my wife wasn't impressed with them.

Thanks for sharing.

Best,

Hi Vito.
Thanks for your opinion.
I'll give it one more season but you are absolutely right, it is very productive for such a young tree and the figs are solid.  It's possible that I overwatered it and that's why the bland flavor.

EJP3 likes this a lot.

I like it a lot too. It's  very productive and tastes great to me. I'm wondering if perhaps your soil is affecting taste? I'd suggest you give it more time, maybe hit it with some lime and fertilizer and see what happens next year.

I like Lattarolla too although I only had two imperfect figs this year (small, slightly split, under ripe).  They were still great tasting figs though, can't imagine how good the taste is going to be like when they ripen under better conditions.

This seems to be another example.....you need to get a tree and see how it does in your environment, don't always go by another members opinion.  Another recent example is Conadria, it seems to be getting more raves then rants, but my tree here in my environment is nearly inedible.
