This is one of the best figs I've eaten. This one probably could have used another day. Plenty more behind it. There's a reason I have 4 trees of this variety.

Hi Rafael,very nice looking fig ...how would it compare to the strawberry verte in flavor

Actually I just received my first SV as a gift and will be able to compare the flavors in about 4 weeks so I guess I will bump the thread at that time. Green Ischia I have tasted and is also called verte-while it is a very good fig, and similar in taste, it is also about half the size of Adriatic JH.

Dont know which one mine is. Bought it as brown turkey. Strawberry flavored when fully ripe. Last pic is when fully ripe. Then second pic was good but didnt taste like strawberries.

I have an SV and a BG, and was thinking about getting JH but I'm getting very tight on space ..just wondering which would be the best for my area...

Looks like a nice surprise

Nice fig Rafael. Mine is still a baby so maybe next year.

Nice surprise Richie. Usually the oposite happens to me. Everything I buy turns out to be a Celeste lol

It is going to be much tastier when fully ripe.
When ripe is yellowish white not green.
All white-green figs with dark red interior are top notch tasting,but what Adriatic jh, has over them,is that it will ripe ,in colder climate better than all others.
Of course for people in deep south or California,it does not matter ,but for the rest of country it does matter.
It could make the difference,of having ripe fruits or not having, in some years.
I also have an older one and 3 younger ones,that much i like it.

Thanks Herman I have about 50-55 fruits to go, I will be more patient for ripening.

Congratulations!
This fig is a winner.
Is it synonym to ' fico di fragola' ??
Wonder if it's happy with long/hot/dry summers.

We don't know the original name for this fig unfortunately. However, climatologically speaking, it adapts well to virtually any climate, from dry to humid to hot or cooler. I'd be privileged to send you cuttings if you like.

Hi Rafael.
Beautiful looking fig. Could you post a picture of the leaves, I have one but the leaves don't look like others that I've seen.
Vito

Will do when I get home Vito. 3 of my plants came from Ed Powers, one is originally from Encanto. I think all the leaves are the same.

Nice and jammy, and sure looks like it was worth the wait

I have a young JH Adriatic and it is full of Figs, Can't wait to try them! Thanks for posting!

Looks so good!  I think next year will be my year for tasting JH.

Rafael,

Thank you  for information on this variety.
It's very kind of you to suggest sending some scions--Thank you very much! Unfortunately  it will not work. Customs sniffers will rapidly detect them and the pack will be destroyed. Will see if early next year may find a couple of cuttings inside the EU.

Here are some leaves, many are single lobe and some are 5 lobed.

Thank you Rafael.
I don't think they look the same, I might have a imposter?
Vito

  Grade White Adriatic known in Russia since 1901. He received widespread grafting in gardens lovers. The leaves are medium size. Source - NBS Yalta.

More heaven. Still not dead ripe. My bad.

Look great!
hope to have a couple to try later this summer myself

Rafael, nice looking Fig...have add more of that Variety...when I have space.
