Michael,Thanks for posting.I have a tagged Monticello White Marseilles from Petals from the Past Nursery, would you know if it is the same cultivar as yours?

I don't. I got my Monticello Marseilles directly from Monticello. I think Edible Landscaping has the same cultivar. I also have White Marseilles and Lemon and there's obvious questions about there being any real differences. I think Dennis (snaglpus) will have all three ripe this summer and should be able to make a comparison as my White Marseilles won't have figs until next year.I hope that helps. Although the breba was disappointing the main crop figs from the Marseilles types are top ten in my book so far. I have to admitt to having only had the Monticello Marseilles though. My Lemon is loaded with brebas and main crop figs though so I'll get to try those this year. I may go out and yank off the brebas after trying this Monticello Marseilles breba -- which even though I gave it a 5 I still enjoyed it and would eat more of them.
Thanks for the reply.I am looking for information to use for comparison also. I have several different whites including Lattarula and Lemon that I will be hopefully comparing them this year. The leaves on Lemon and Lattarula are similar but White Marseilles are completely different. <edit> I'll post any new info on these cultivars to this topic...
I forgot -- I, too added Lattarulla as well. I'd love to be kept in the loop if you learn anything.
