One Lattarolla cutting, free to good home.  About 5.5 inches long and 6 nodes.  I was doing some spring trimming today and couldn't bring myself to throw it away.  I know it isn't much, but hey what do you want for free?

I'll pay postage, let me know who wants it.  PM me please.

Did you get any Latarolla figs to taste?
Just curious to know your opinion of this fig? 
Any photos?

LE,

Strange I have photos on my laptop but didn't post or note how it tasted.  OK, posting photos now. : )  Note the very large eye.

I seem to remember that the taste was very good.  How do I remember?  Well, I think I only had 1 or 2 figs from this tree this year and I remember thinking (or wishing) I had more and couldn't wait for the 2014 growing season.

I started my cuttings March 4, 2013 and this tree was my absolute strongest grower by far.  I'm guessing the diameter is 2 inches or more.

Wow. That looks good. I have some Italian honey cuttings, which is listed as a synonym, that I'll start soon. I hope it's as good.

BLB gifted me a nice start of Lattarola (NOT Lattarula!) the other day. I'm still dancing with joy!
