Consensus on Latarulla as In-Ground Honey Fig in Zone 7a?

[TorontoJoe]

While we’re in the topic. I have a Greek buddy who pops by from time to time. He’s always asking me for any good Greek honey figs. I never have them but he’s a good guy and I’d like to hook him up if I can.
If anyone knows their Greek figs and has some suggestions… Please feel free to point me in the right direction

I’ve never grown this one. I thought it was more “Adriatic type” rather than honey. Just going by memory

Corynth - haven’t tried it but have read several decent reports.

Excellent! I think I know where to find it too....

@Tinyfish - Are you still growing this one?

I wonder any of the desert fig growers here do you get better white figs where they can be on the dry side? Here just little rain and they taste like water.

I don't have Lattarula, but I have Byadi & RGR. I like them, they have a very mild flavor that has a taste like maybe plain cotton candy.

I can report back on this in a few months! (Zone 9b) Just planted 13 varieties in ground over the winter, my lattarula is just too small though so it's staying potted this summer.
