I bought this tree this spring after my old one died over winter. Something pulled the 1st one that was swelling off the tree. I am hoping I will get to eat this one.

It will be interesting to see what this fig is about. The leaves and the shape of the fig are not consistent with the Latarulla that I am familiar with. IH has a very light almost whitish pulp. Nevertheless, amazing looking fig!Leon-Albuquerque, NM Zone 7bComment

I agree, it doesn't look like a regular Italian honey. It was just labeled as Italian Honey when I bought it. I included the leaf pics incase anyone can confirm it's identity. I will add interior fruit pics if I am able to get to this one before anything else does. -
@TheMick27,
If you have a few figs that you are protecting just to see how they will turn out, try wrapping some aluminum foil loosely around the fig.

That's a better example of Italian Honey than the Arigistarts IH variety that most people want to compare it to. The only thing that looks off is how large the fruit is. Unless you have small hands ;-)Garden State 7aComment

The leaves and fruit seem pretty similar to Italian Honey JM. It’s very productive and early, mine still might be get sold off though because it’s just not in the flavor top tierComment

That leaf shape is a typical of the original (Condit's real) White Marseilles. But clearly the fig is not fully developed.
Here is my Princeton Honey (Condit's White Marseilles). Lattarula/Italian Honey probably has different leaf shape.

Nope. Lattarula/Italian Honey probably has different leaf shape. There are at least a couple of other threads about those two varieties.
Some WM was sold as Lattarula/Italian Honey. Codit's WM is also the same as Thomas Jefferson's Marseilles Monticelo. The leaf is thicker and more hardy than the Lattarula/Italian Honey. WM also has the two extra feet at the base of the 5 lobes. Lattarula/Italian Honey does not have that.
