| Love the grocery store figs-so which kind should I buy to grow? Mission is what I'm leaning toward but some say Brown Turkey or Calpyrna (?) yes, i have room for two--have lots of sunny space in my Med climate garden. Thanks! |

| Figs are really dependent upon climate. One of the experts in California really likes Mission (and dislikes Brown Turkey). Here are his likes (first post in this link). http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Best-figs-at-your-locatio n-4800578 He has several hundred different varieties (600?) of figs growing in the San Diego area and also sells figs. He might have a good idea of varieties for your specific climate and also sells figs true to name. http://encantofarms.com/orders.html His fig variety website is one of the web's most detailed for varieties. Click on the M for Mission and scroll down and click on more photos (under mission) so you can see what the figs look like. http://figs4fun.com/Varieties.html

| If you like grocery store figs wait until you try one ripe off the tree. You won't be able to buy them at the store anymore! |
|
| Violette de Bordeaux and a Panachee, remember to keep them pruned so you can reach the fruits. |
|
| The best variety which I grow in New Orleans is Celest. They are great fresh and preserved. I don't know how this variety will make out in your location. |
