Seriously?

 I have a one year old tree in ground. I had about 7 days this season in the low to mid 20's and plenty of freezing nights. The Rasp latte survived with no protection and no damage.

"FU" refers to a small collection of in-ground trees here at the nursery.

HAHAHA............Now thats FUNNY, I don't care who ya are...

Here in Phoenix, Arizona, I have four figs in #2 containers: Black Mission, Negronne, Violette de Bordeaux (aka Negronne) and a Raspberry Latte (RL).  All were kept under frost cloth to protect them from the few nights we got frost.  All but the RL lost their leaves in December...essentially because it is time for them to lose their leaves.  The RL just keeps plugging along fully leafed. 

I have no idea what that means to its cold or hot hardiness ratings, but it is an interesting observation at least to me.

Unfortunately, for the RL along with the Negronnes, I will be giving them away tomorrow as I didn't realize the need for small ("closed") eyes varieties in Phoenix until I acquired them.  They sure look tasty however.  Thanks for letting me know the eye size---it's Google search is how I came across this thread.

Georgiafig, I think RL is just as hardy as brown turkey. I have one that I rooted from Jon, 2 yrs ago. I have it growing in a huge pot today but will be planting it in my orchard this Spring. No figs yet, but a progressive grower! In November of 2011 it got down to 19 degrees for 2 days and it did not phase my tree. So, I think this tree is pretty hardy. I am expecting figs this year. More too come later this year.

Hi all, I have two(2 yr.'s old) in the ground(6-7') here that survived several days of 18F last winter without damage. They are indeed easy rooters and fast growing. If I remember right , I had a couple immature figs late last fall that didn't ripen. This fall it has about 6 figs late(same fate). Maybe this year---I'm hoping it will start fruiting earlier. I might try pinching to see if it helps

Raspberry Latte in south central Texas. Went out this morning to a pleasant surprise with the first of them showing color. Second year tree.

Looks good Penelope! It looks like I have to wait until next year to see some hopefully on mine...

btw... is that hot pepper plant in your pot there by design??

This morning I moved one of my two RLs to a three gal pot from a quart pot. Hopefully, next year it will give me some figs like yours Penelope.

What you have are awesume.

Man my raspberry latte was a rooted cutting last season and it went in ground and exploded with growth, it is my only tree that is continuously growing,  it only put out 4 figs this season so I'm hoping it becomes more productive. As of now it is about 6' tall and 6' wide.

I have heard the taste of RL in high heat is divine.

I have two 1 year old Raspberry Latte in 25 gal pots, they grow like weeds. One grew to quick and snapped at 6 inches from 6ft tall. Three months later its back up to 6ft, but with all spade leaves. Seems to be fairly rust resistant.

It's now covered with figs, which are starting to change color. Only one is a deformed/double fig. The rest all look very attractive. They have a squat flat bottom with a tight eye. Very easy to root.

The leaves look very similar to Violet De Bordeaux. I wonder if this is a Vista Mission seedling.

Those of you who reported on your Raspberry Latte figs back in 2014 or before, especially if the trees are in-ground, please consider reporting back and tell us how  your tree is doing and how well its producing.  There are lots of comments on Figs for Fun Forum about immature Respberry Latte figs, but someone should have a truly mature tree by now and should be able to tell us what it does after it is five or six years old.  God bless.
