This is my first time eating Lattarola. They taste like and resemble Marseilles White in my opinion except the pulp has a pinkish to red hue. Marseilles white has a creamy to amber pulp. My Lattarola tree is very productive. It is in its second season and it will ripen at least 25 figs and they're very high quality for such a young fig.

JH Adriatic is a nice productive fig too. This also my first season eating them. I am still trying to figure out when to pick them because they hold on to the tree so well. They are very delicious but I don't like when the skin dries out too much and becomes tough. Pulp flavor is fantastic and this could end up being my favorite white fig.

Yum. Pretty photos

Jason, are those breba or main?

Nice, btw.

Nice. Thanks for the 411 on JH Adriatic.

jason, Lattarola looks very much like Ischia White USDA/UCD. the middle one specially. slight crack on the skin, the red around the eye, the color or pulp. i'm still waiting on my JH Adriatic to ripen.

These are main crop figs. They had the benefit of sitting I'm my greenhouse last winter.

I am not familiar with ischia white. I got rid of all my ucd plants except for Black Madeira. All I know is Marseilles White and Lattarola are soft fleshed honey figs, early, and fairly large too.

Pete, I hope you get to try JH. The flavor even on a young fig is outstanding.

2 excellent varieties, great pics Jason. Glad you are getting ripe figs, the cold spring has delayed my trees, but should be getting some ripe figs soon.

Congratulations on some nice figs!

Jason It must be the reason,Why I multiplied ,My JH Adriatic,to a total of 4 Plants,two 5 years old and 2, 2 years old.
Your Plant is young and it seem the fruit ,did not ripe to perfection,so wait till it gets older,if you liked the taste now,you will love it in 2 years from now.
I hope the climate revert back to the 2010 and before ,here in NJ,because it became more rainy and that is not good for any fruit tree,or any fruiting plant really.

Thanks for posting those great pics Jason. I don't have a lattarolla as yet and like to see and hear all about it.

Herman2- I love this fig already. I plan on putting one in ground plus 1 in a pot in my greenhouse. For such a young tree it is very productive and tasty. It is a must have in my book.
All my stuff that wasn't in the greenhouse is way behind this year by at least a month. I too wish for 2010 weather or just a little global warming.

JH is an excellent fig. 1st year or 2 I had some splits, none now, no drops.

Home run

Are you guys winter protecting your JH Adriatic or is it fine uncovered? I plan on putting one in ground next spring.

mine live in pots, never tried ground

Jason,

I have a couple JH Adriatics I acquired this year and from what I researched, it's not very cold hardy.  I plan on keeping mine in pots, but I'm also interested in first-hand experiences.

I have 2 JH Adriatics so I will experiment with one in ground no protection next year. I think I read that Vasile has one in ground but I'm not sure if he covers it or not.

I have all 4 in ground,and I protected the 2 old ones,in the Backyard,but ,I am not allowed to protect the 2 plants in front of the house.
So I placed chicken wire around them, and ,put  about 6 to 8 inches of leaves at the base of the tree in the interior of the wire circle.
Chicken wire is needed also because Squirrels ,munch on the wood of young trees,so that is why.
In the Spring,all 4 came with minor frost damage,to about 6 inches at the tips,some tips died up to 10 inches.
They recovered well,and now I have them loaded with fruits,the older ones had Breba too,about 6 breba fruits each.

Thanks for sharing your info. I am definitely going to put one in the ground next season. It is such a good fig.

Say, Herman2 and KK, how does Lyndhurst Whiite compare in flavor and taste to Lattrolla? I thinik I lost my tag on my Lattrolla. But, i have a tree that i think is Lattrolla. I've been picking figs from it the past 3 days. Figs have a bell shape with a ting of pink and red, very sweet. My tree is around 6 feet tall and is just amazing!

I have 6 or so LW that are pretty small in height but spreads out wide like Atreano. My LW trees are loaded!

KK,
I put your JH Adriatic in gorund, it surive winter here.

jh adriatic hardy for me. first winter last yr 2.5 ft tall, covered in light burlap... zero,dieback 7a
