Some fig cultivars produce figs that ripen over a span of a few weeks and then are done, while other cultivars ripen figs more or less continuously till frost.
The two cultivars that I've seen ripen figs most productively, over the longest period of time, and more-or-less continuously till frost are LSU Purple and the Mt Etnas (Marseilles Black and others). Especially the Mt Etnas.
I'm interested in the experiences that other have had with which cultivars ripen figs the most productively, over the longest period of time, more-or-less continuously till frost. In addition to the Mt Etna strains, I'm especially interested in any relevant experience with a few particular cultivars: Ronde de Bordeaux, Malta Back, Florea, Improved Celeste, Zingarella, Champagne, and various LSU cultivars, among others.
Improved Celeste has ripened for me in a sometimes extended wave or two but not necessarily till frost.
