Lattarula or Lattarola?
Here's what Condit said in "Fig Varieties: A Monograph" about "Blanche" (aka Lattarula):
Breba crop fair; figs medium or above, up to 2 inches in length and 1-7/8 inches in
diameter, turbinate, with broad, rounded apex; neck thick and short, or absent; stalk
slightly curved, 1/4 inch long; ribs few, inconspicuous eye medium, open, scales chaffy,
erect at maturity; flecks very small and inconspicuous, green rather than white; bloom
delicate; color light green; pulp and meat white; seeds large, conspicuous; quality fair to
good.
Second-crop figs much the same as brebas, except for smaller size; average weight 30
grams; shape spherical to oblate, mostly without neck; stalk up to 1/2 inch long. Flavor
fairly rich and sweet; quality fair as a fresh fruit, of light weight and poor quality when
dried; susceptible to fruit spoilage. (Plates 8; 26, A.)
Caprification has little effect upon size and color, either of skin or pulp. Figs
produced at Portland, Oregon, and in coastal districts of California, are usually larger in
size and more oblate in shape than those just described. Near Paris the second crop of
Blanche matures in warm seasons only.
And what he said about "Lattarola":
At Crisfield, Maryland, and at Cape Charles, Virginia, trees of Marseilles are neither
vigorous nor productive. Near Portland, Oregon, this variety ranks first among the figs
tested for home and orchard planting. A Portland nurseryman, B. R. Amend, in his
catalogue for the season of 1942, describes this variety as Lattarula (Italian honey fig), a
name suggested by some visitors from Italy. As described elsewhere, however, the
Italian variety Lattarola has red, not white, pulp.
