As the story goes, this fig was found as a seedling growing under a coffee tree in San Diego, CA so given the name Raspberry Latte. Very similar to the Bordeaux figs and exceptionally fine flavored! Not the earliest ripening variety so plant this one in a very hot location if growing in northern climates.

Raspberry Latte is a fig with an enticing name and dark purple skin. The round figs grow to medium size and have a good tolerance to humidity and splitting. A tight eye also protects Raspberry Latte from predators. Raspberry Latte has a sweet and unique taste to its strawberry-red flesh. The taste has been compared to Bordeaux figs. Raspberry Latte trees will grow 5-lobed leaves with long fingers. Those who have had Raspberry Latte trees for several years recommend playing the long-game with this variety; growers have seen production go way up when the tree becomes established after the first couple years.
