What's the difference between Adriatic JH and Artistic from UCD? Are they too different figs? Or just the difference in the source?

Pete

Big difference.
Different leaves.
Adriatic JH is  a care free growing and producing tree while the UCD Adriatic is a heavy infested FIg mosaic virus tree that will need constant TLC to grow and produce a few fruits.
Very similar in taste and flavor.

I can't confirm taste of regular Adriatic but Joe's version is awesome.  Awesome awesome.

I have been looking at Adriatic JH. It seems to have lovely dark red interior... and it seems to have taste to match. Will have to look into finding a source...

Pete

In 2010 I got an Adriatic plant from Jon came labeled Adriatic 011 its on his Varietal Page last year I got a few ripe figs and I must say handsdown winner. Freakin awesome tasting. Not sure if this is the same as JH Adriatic but it is very good mostly single and 3 lobed leaves.

1st to ripen in 2011

This one was picked fairly late and not 100% Ripe but still extremely good. 

Nelson,

That's a beauty. I'm planning to order Adriatic from UCD... I'll have to look into 011 also...

Pete

Nelson:Mostly single and three lobes leaves:You got adriatic JH.
UCD Adriatic has five lobes and 2 thumbs,the extra 2 thumbs showing only on healthy leaves.
As for the taste :Both are excellent tasting,but JH Adriatic become properly ripe much faster here in the North east.

Can't wait for my JH Adriatic to produce!! Obviously a good one.

Brent,

Kathleen's Black... it seems KB is not an easy tree to get fig from. Few of the thread I started indicates number of the forum members are having hard time getting fruit from it.

This year, I did few things. I cut all the last yrs branches off. I also cut off about a foot off the top. I was hoping that will push the figs. But, it didn't seem to help. So I started using 15-30-15 fert. That didn't help. So I pinched all branches after 6 leaves. Then I started seeing the figs. Honest truth is, I have no clue which one of above helped... it might be all of above. I'm just happy to see figs on KB.

Next year, I'll keep on using 15-30-15 feet. If I don't see the figs by 1st of May. I'll pinch again.

Pete

Hi Pete, I think you got your threads mixed up. But I think I know what you are talking about anyway. I am not all that disappointed really about Kathleen's really. I will remove most from JH anyway so it grows more, I just want to try a few this year. Both are going to be wonderful mothers for my orchard... soon ;)

I have new plants of Adriatic JH available for sale, for anyone interested.

Pete You cut last year branches off.
That is not good in my opinion.
The tree wants to grow those branches back in order to be the size of an adult when producing a large harvest,so it will delete farther the forming of fruits,in order to grow back.
The only trick that works on  forcing tree to produce fruits is pinching the Btranches at tips,again and again,and eliminating the new growing buds that appear to every base of every leaf.
You have 2 buds at the base of every leaf,one is a growing bud and the other is a fruit.
Growing buds grow faster on some culktivars as Kathleen black,on other cultivars fruits grow faster.
In any case that growing bud has to be removed in order for plant to grow the fruit.

Do your Adriatic figs turn bright yellow when the fig is in direct sunlight?  Or part of the fig turns yellow when part of the fig is in sunlight?

I had mine (JH) in almost full shade.  When it ripened main crop, it turned a lighter greenish color, the eye clogged with honey, and the skin began to split.

One can never have too many friends, and 'search' is one of mine. ;)

But since yours are in the shade it won't help with my issue.

It gets an hour of sun ;). 

This one I got in November In my basement. With no light. 

Thanks Vasile I definately see what you mean about the leaf shape. Mine however does have FMV Need to get a JH if his strain does not. Very good tasting fig.

Here are pics of my Adriatic 011 leaves

No problem Nelson. Will start an air layer JH this evening.

Thanks Paul that would be great.

If I had nothing but JH Adriatic in my collection, I would be so happy! It's truly one amazing tasting fig. One of my favorite green figs.

Just had to bump this one up.

Adriatic has been really good this year, I got this a few years ago. It's not a JH. It is very tasty. It's usually a late variety.
