I think we should make a list of varieties that might be the same so we can explore the issue. 71GTO has requested Lattarolla vs Lyndhurst White. Kelby has requested Galbun vs Gulbun and it makes sense to put Croisic in there. Elsewhere people were wondering whether Adriatic Grasa is the same as Desert King. I'm going to grow these varieties side by side so we can compare the 2 plants in growth conditions as similar as possible. If a lot of people did this we'd be able to control for things like humidity as well. By that I mean that my leaves and fruit may be affected by humidity and 2 plants may look the same while someone with less humidity might have leaves that look different. They could be different from each other and/or different from mine
We won't know until we check it out.
Then in mid Summer - early Fall we can post photos of the 2 or 3 plants and people can weigh in on the similarities and differences. Anyone who wants to do this would help by contributing valuable information. Even if you only have 1 of the plants your photos will help. Each pair/triplet should probably have their own thread once photos are posted but a listing of varieties to test by planting side by side should probably be in this thread for ease of reference.
And, of course, some of will have figs that are mislabeled but at least we'll find out
What other varieties should we test to see if they're the same?
