Any fig places to visit in or near Orlando

Are there any fig nurseries I should visit there or must go to restaurants ?

lots of citrus places, It's Navel orange season there. There's a place on International dr. that sells freshly picked oranges. Rarely any figs. Whatever figs you can find they are the common types. 

I live in NJ and was in Cape Canaveral in November. On a rainy day I stopped by a nursery. I wasn't leaving there without a fig so a 30" LSU Purple found its way into my luggage. Not a rare variety, and i had a rooted cutting already, but it was a nice small tree. My only problem is that I paid RETAIL. :-P (I'm a landscaper. I almost never pay retail for plants.)

Paul,

This guy is interesting to visit. Not so much for figs, but for tropicals. He is just out of his house but his yard is covered up if in the Winter Garden area. A good break when I was visiting the MIL and picked up a few things.

Eat - Texas de Brazil if you are a carnivore. 

If you are an outdoorsman, Bass Pro Shops is a must visit. 

I don't have a Pro shop  :-)

You Could Bass!!!

Never a better time then now. 

There is a major fig nursery in Apopka Florida, 10-12 miles north of Orlando, I am not sure which one it is.  Apopka is the indoor foliage capital of the world (they claim)  I grew up there.  RKD Nursery (Kim D) in Mt Dora would be a place to call and ask.

some things I found by searching on the net "fig nursery in Apopka Florida"
