I know one member has stated on f4f that he believed Lyndhurst White and Latarolla are the same, but does anyone else feel this way? I have both, but have not gotten any figs yet from Lyndhurst White.

I don't know if I was that person, but the leaves are very similar and the fruit-size, color (exterior and interior), and taste seems very close if not identical. I have had fruit from both for the past two years and have thought they were the same ( even growth habits).

Latarolla and Lyndhurst White leaves looked the same to me last year. Should be able to compare fruit this year.
Lyndhurst White currently is carrying a bunch of breba. None on the Latarolla, though the Latarolla is younger, about a year old.
Can anyone comment on the breba productivity and taste of L and LW breba? I'm impressed by what the LW is doing now.Tony WV 6b

The map in my head of breba flavor and timing, productivity and size, and potential by cultivar is scant compared to the map for main crop figs. I hope to expand the breba map hopefully by leaps and bounds this year. Will have to do it firsthand apparently since far less seems to be written about brebas than main crop.

GTO, my current notes indicate that they are the same or very closely related. Both have a large beautiful leaf pattern! I had a large Lattrolla a few years back and now it's gone. I can't find it at the moment. Over the years, I sold and gave away a lot of plants. I have several large LWs in SWPs. I just received a new Lattrolla in the mail last week from a friend. It's a young plant ---in a 4 inch pot. However it does have large leaves on it that resembles my 5 LWs. I'm gonna push this little guy with my special liquid fertilizer and it should be 6 feet tall come September. In September, bump up this thread and I will post pics on both. Or if you come to my fig festival in August....you will see for yourself.Dennis

Nice. I'm going to plant one in ground and see what happens. I've been trying to keep an eye all around the new house to see where the best place to plant is. I don't know if you put it out there already, but care to disclose your special liquid fertilizer? As far as coming down there I would love it, but I don't know we just bought this house and a Miriad of other crazy things going on. We have a destination wedding and a regular vacation, plus a regular wedding packed into August. It's going to be an Interesting summer.
