Kerry,
Just last night as I was trying to finish up bedding down the fig trees in the unheated addition of the hoophouse, I unwrapped the Sal's EL. There were several swelling figs on it when I wrapped it with Remay row cover a couple weeks ago. Most were still hard last night, but one little thing was soft and tasted quite nice, though not much to it. I told my husband that if I could only have one tree, that would probably be the one. It was surprising that fig had survived temps at least into the teens (I didn't get my high/low thermometer in there until after the coldest nights - single digits). As I started to put down layers of straw I discovered two larger figs on the ground. I am sure they dropped because they were ripe, I had stepped on them and the deep color ooozed out. I sure wish I had seen them before stepping on them, I would have tasted them also!!
Marseilles black is good also but makes a taller tree in the hoop, it had figs over my head, but not near ripening stage and therefore wasn't covered. Sal's EL has stayed more manageable, I wonder how it will grow next year since I just planted it there this Spring. Can't comment on Atreano or Lattarula unless the latter is Italian Honey which I do have. It has wonderful figs, main crop is better than breba, but I will eat those early brebas also.
Cuttings aren't always successful for me, I guess I have just too many other things going on and don't care for them well enough. This time I am trying Sphagnum moss. My most successful method has been with cuttings in buckets of compost on the horizontal. However I noted the post recommending soaking to rehydrate cuttings which I seemingly needed to have done on some varieties that were shipped. My own cuttings did quite well and the horizontal method was better than vertical. I try to get my cuttings in the compost as soon as I get them cut. That hasn't happened this year, I have them stored until I get the containers ready and will likely have that done within another week. I will leave them on the heated side of the hoop - 50 degrees and higher depending on sunshine. We all have our own particular likes as far as propagation and the ideas of others always helps us get the best process for our particular situation.
Enjoy your figs. And one day you will surely get a little Sal's going. I must say, figging takes a lot of patience.
