Dennis,this is my Lattarula fig.Sweet enough and heavy producer.

i have one in groung that i bought as a brown turkey, well its not and i sent a pic to the guy i bought it from and he called it a petes honey which if i am not mistaken is a Italian honey and the same as the Lattarula. now i have cuttings rooting of latarola that i got from a forum member who said it has a red center and is a far better tasting fig. i have not had it, like i said they are freashly rooted and in 1 gal pots or cups at this time. below is a pic of what i was later told was a petes honey, sorry no ripe pics

Dennis:The Peter Honey You show,and any other cultivar it makes fruits like that is Kadota.
It was misnamed.
Lattarula:is what Marius is showing in the pix!

Dennis. Thought I'd post this pic of the Italian Honey I have. This is the one I got from a buddy of mine who has a greenhouse. It has very thin skin which seems to have little to no effect on the flavor of the fruit in general. This is the variety that got me hooked on figs. Not that it was the greatest fig on earth but because it was the first fresh fig I'd ever eaten.

Hope this helps to make things more confusing ;) :

Don't know if I posted this already but here is latarolla, on the top right, pictured with a few other very good figs.  In my opinion latarolla is as similar to latarulla as it is to malta black (nothing to do with each other).

This is the one I meant to post

And I would repost my pics of Latarolla next to Latarulla if I was on my own computer, but I'm on my stepsons as my computer's hard drive is shot. As earch of Latarolla will find them for you

It is good to know the meanings of the names. It helps in understanding the nature and identity of the plants.

Rewton, my tree does not need pollination.

thanks VS!  Marius, yes, your pix is the real Latturula.  Mine from EL did fruit last year and the figs were sweet.....a keeper!  Thanks for posting  I love the dark yellow color! 

Bill, yours is the same as Marius!  AKA Latturla.  They are very sweet!

I'd like to see Latturula/Italian Honey figs at UCD.  I know the overall taste would be different.

I have an Italian honey plant from Park I think. I should taste the fruit this year. Enjoying the info provided in this thread.

These names are so confusing. The picture that Marius is showing of Lattarula, is it not the same as white marseilles?
I agree with Vasile about Kadota. That is what my Kadota looks like. I'm not real happy with Kadota, not much taste here in NJ. It's in a pot now and in the spring it will go in ground with no pertection the following winter. It will be my attempt to kill it.

might get better figs if it lives. sorry for chimming in like that, happy hour you know. finishing mu last

Hi guys is this Lattarula. This fig is very sweet and very good producer.

Kadota for me, taste like SH*T. So if it dies, I know I'll get better figs. Just from other trees. Zone 7 does not have long enough season for it to ripen properly. Could be a good fig in CA.

eden: Yes, that's Lattarula. The fig for me is very sweet with honey taste.

Daniel,

Thanks for posting Condit's descriptions.

Daniel - thanks for the info from Condit.

All - Here is Barry's other thread with photos (the one he mentioned above in post #32).

Eden's photo in post #38 of Latarulla (or is it spelled Lattarula?), looks a lot like my Peter's Honey.  (Not saying it's the same necessarily, and I don't have any photo so I can't compare closely, but at least from my memory it looks quite similar).  Once I get some ripe ones this summer, I'll come back to this and look again at Eden's photo if it's still here.

After seeing quite a few threads inquiring about this, I've been trying to follow the same naming conventions that Barry mentioned.  <edit - I think that is consistent with Condit's descriptions, by the way>.
