Figs are fun! They are so adaptable as is testified to in the above posts.

If you are in a cold area and you want a variety of different figs I suggest these

Valle Negra, Vista, or Petite Negra for a black fig (Bordeaux flavor group)

Mt Etna type - like Hardy Chicago Takoma Violet, Black Malta and about 100 more.

Adriatic type - Strawberry Verte

Sugar or Honey - Improved Celeste

Many others in these groups, i have not tried them, so no comment. I can comment though on about any fig if you need info, or want to know characteristics. Like in the Adriatic group we have JH Adriatic, and Battaglia Green, and others but Strawberry Verte ripens earlier than these and may even taste better. Battaglia Green is a good choice too, later but man these figs are good if left to hang as long as possible, which you should do for all figs.
