Best fig for growing in container in greenhouse

9 years ago

I am planning to grow figs in containers since growing them outside in the rainy weather does produce a lot of figs. Which fig variety is best for growing in pots? I do have a greenhouse so it might be useful. I was thinking of peter's honey, lattarula, or negronne, but there are tons of other varieties at my local nursery. Any suggestions?

I've had heavy production from Strawberry Verte. Mostly main crop but also breba. Even better than all the fruit is the eating quality. They shrivel up on the bush to just the right moisture for eating. I don't like the watery figs.
