We spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now we’ve sold our property to the next stewards so that we can begin a new homesteading project in Vermont closer to our best friends and their kids.

Don’t worry - we plan to keep this website up and running so that our customers can reference what we’ve written about our plants!

We’ll let you know once we re-start a farm in Vermont!

'lattarula' Italian Honey Fig

Ficus carica 'Lattarula'

The tasty fruit of this variety has yellow-green skin and a honey colored interior.  These are the largest figs we’ve ever grown.  Boy, are they sweet!  There is a reason this one is named after honey!

Figs can be a great addition to a Northwest fruit garden, as long as they have a very warm spot- south facing wall or sun trap.  They can grow up to 12 feet or more but respond wll to pruning.  We prune ours short enough to harvest fruits easily.  Some winters they will get some die back but they usually sprout back vigorously the next spring.  Fig shrubs are elegant and beautiful with open branching.
