The Lattarula honey, or Italian Honey fig, is a compact variety that produces medium fruit that's sweet and delicious. W
ith medium to large very sweet fruit and an excellent breba and fall crop it's hard to go wrong with this guy.
While rumored to be able to survive lower than our recommended zones of 7 through 10 it can be grown outside of these zones in the warmer months and brought indoors during the winter. Wonder if your figs are ripe? The fruit stem should be hanging/drooping from the branch and the fruit should be soft. Still not sure? If you pick an unripe fig it will snap off and ooze white liquid indicating it is not ripe. Fig trees can grow for a very long time so be sure to always plan out where you want them to stay or plant them in a container where they will be smaller and you can move them around
Our figs are grown by tissue culture from mature cells, which is a superior method that produces healthier plants that can fruit much sooner than if they were grown by seed. None of our figs are grown from seed; the narrow stems indicate that they are grown from this premium tissue culture method, and within months can grow large and robust.
