I've been assembling my list of figs to plant in ground here in chilly zone 6b. I've selected these varieties based on reports of their hardiness, ability to fruit after ground kill, and productivity.
Definites (if I root them all):
Takoma Violet
Adriatic JH
Malta Black
Improved Celeste
Florea
Ronde de Bordeaux
Sal's
Bari
Nero600m
Considering:
Longue d'Aout
Binello
MBvs
Lyndhurst White
LaRadek's English BT
Black Bethlehem
I'm looking at also growing a handful in pots for breba production:
Atreano (breba and main)
Lattarula (breba and main)
Sweet George (breba and main)
Nexoe (breba? and main)
Desert King
Filacciano Bianco
and some other San Pedro types.
Any input? I've wound up with a lot of dark figs, I think I want to look into getting some more good light varieties like Vasilika Sika, Cdd Blanc, Green Ischia, or Brooklyn White.
Unfortunately I only have good, sunny space for 10-15 varieties. And I don't have an interest in more than a handful of potted figs. Basically, I want lots of figs with as little work as possible.
