Hi everyone, what variety (or varieties) would be considered as the latest in the season? Also, which are considered to be the earliest? Thanks for your help!
Atreano OR is about as early (main crop) as there is. Vernino is one of the latest.
Up here in MA, my latest was Battaglia Verte. Had a Ripe one near the end of OCT. But we had a weird fall.
Well in my neck of the woods, Marseilles White produces in June. As for the late ones.....LSU Black, Green Greek, Lemon, Reverse 314, Col de Dame Gris, and White Greek ripen around Oct/Nov. Hope that helps.
In my collection and in my area I get Marseilles VS Black, Natalina. Chicago Hardy and celest ripen early. It may change as I add to my collection. I cannot suggest the latest ripening type because so many varieties have green hard unripe figs left when the first frost comes.
Thank you all for your suggestions! I am doing a study growing figs in tunnels and am trying to build a collection that spans the entire growing season. My Italian honey actually produced its first crop in mid-April this year, but spring here was very early. As a matter of fact we had all the snow and ice during the super bowl and the week after that it got really hot and the tree started popping its breba crop the first week of march! These trees really want to fruit, kinda like the one that has the WHITE figs that was just posted!
