Has anybody outside of California got a ripe fig from Raspberry Latte? My tree is huge. I only had two squatty figs on it this year and they fell off. I'm going to dump a few figs that need the wasp. Wondering if I should get rid of this one.

I did, I only had a 4 this season, I rooted this tree last season and the the tree is about 6' by 8', even though I only had 4 figs this season it put on a lot of growth and is loaded with figs that won't ripen this season but I expect it to do well next season. This tree has been one of the fastest growing for me.Ryan- CenLa, zone 8a/b -
Art, my RL is a second year bush in a SIP, it was a late rooting slow growing runt last year, this year I think it is trying to just grow and catch up. It did put on just a single fig in mid-July. I hope to nurse it along to maturity to see if it is any good. Maybe I should bring it to your greenhouse next month to let it mature
Someone outside of CA posted in the last year on F4F (I think) that they had gotten figs. But there is not much on it, that is for sure.

I could use that as a good excuse to get another greenhouse. My friends need to store their trees here. I don't think my wife would fall for it.Art

Does Raspberry Latte need the wasp?

My RL has been dropping figs as well, it’s really finicky.Tom V

I’ll pay postage for a few cuttings if you’re going to give it the axe.Z8+ Oregon, willamette valley. WL: More land, cool citrus
Ok fine, I made a channel but it’s not all figs: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC2vAVzLns27I5JUiwpiPMUwComment

It is funny that I was just outside looking at my RL and then saw this thread when I came back in. It is producing big time and I have 3 ripening now. I had about 47 figs on it but the rains have been nonstop for 20 days out here and lost many to major splitting. Still was able to ripen about 12-15 before the rains and now waiting on the rest over time. This is a great tasting fig on par with my CdDN. Smallest fig was 60 grams so am impressed with it's size and good yields bordering on great!Attached FilesComment

Just up-potted a RL that was a slow but steady grower in it's second leaf, all Spade leaves, finally pushing out some decent growth but no signs of figs. This has happened to other cultivars and figure I would give it another year and see what happens before it's full. Good luck with yours I'll report back on this post if anyone wants.Robert - HZ7BComment

I also have a RL 2nd season not a sign of a figComment

Mine was eventually discarded. It always had some mis-shapen or deformed figs, often with gaping wide open eye, and some split in rain, and it seemed like I never got many to eat. The perfectly ripe ones were good over the three years it fruited for me.Ed

I had two brebas this season, and the tree is loaded, I hope some will ripen.Comment

Mine also have been slow to produce. The first couple of years, in a container, I had a lot dropped figs. I've had it in the ground now for about 1 1/2 years. It only put on about 6 or 7 figs this year, but a ton of growth. I am hoping that next year will be a year for figs. I do not plan to fertilize it for growth next spring.
It is a delicious and unique tasting fig. Everyone who has tasted one off my tree has wanted a cuttings or air layer.
I wanted to add that in our long growing season, when my young RL dropped most of its figs early on, it would put on another set of main crop figs during the same summer. These would ripen late, but they did ripen.Last edited by CliffH; 08-19-2019, 06:44 AM.North East, OK - zone 6b/6a

Just wanted to know if anyone has updates on thieir tree. On a second year tree in a pot the growth had been substantial but no fig formation. Of all the treess I have grown so far from cuttings this is the only one not to show at least one fig. From what I have heard though I'm really looking forward to see what this cultivar is made of. Thanks all.
post some fruit and leaf pics when you can!Robert - HZ7BComment

Are those rice hulls covering the pot? If so what is the purpose? Thanks!Originally posted by Surge90241 View PostZone 7a Westchester County, NY

It's a great mulch. I use it too, as do many. I work at a large garden center. We trialed it for a year and then switched over to it. -
I tried it as a mulch in some of my smaller pots (1 to 3 gal), but ended up giving up on it and going to 100% fir/pine bark, which I also use in my larger pots. For me, the rice hulls moved around too much every time I watered, and it was hard to keep an even layer. I tend to use relatively thin layers in my small pots, though, so maybe if you commit to a thickness of more than an inch it works better. I like how the bark can diffuse the water as it is being applied for more even coverage of the surface, while the rice hulls float away.

Renegade Rose No it does not. I live in zone 7 and my tree gives a plethora of fruit and we do not have the wasp here. I started picking fruit about 2 to 3 weeks ago and I'm still picking fruit.Comment

I heard raspberry latte was a vigorous grower and good as a root stock for grafting. Any comments on that?Najam from Sugar Land, Texas, Zone 9aComment

I received cuttings in late 2017 and rooted them in 2018. Planted in ground this last Spring. It has been my most vigorous grower.You may only view thumbnails in this gallery. This gallery has 7 photos.Comment

I've had 2 figs but the tree is small and not very productive and some what a slow grower. The fig however tastes Devine and for that reason and that it's small, I will keep it and see how it does in the future.

Obviously no wasp in Tallahassee...Can confirm that it is a beast of a grower, but would not waste this variety on roots-tock as figs are too good.Attached FilesComment
