Other Commercial varieties I know grown in California are Brown Turkey, Sequioa and Sierra. We get many commercially grown figs like Brown Turkeys & Blk Mission imports from CA.

I heard today that there are 3,000 acres of Sierra in CA but 0 in Sequoia (because of heavy politics). There are some others also, though they are not in public domain and I don't know their names. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

Here are two interesting links: Production by volume: http://www.factfish.com/statistic/figs%2C%20production%20quantity Commercial varieties: http://www.citrogold.co.za/Figs%20An%20Overview%20Citrogold%202011.pdf Brazil's commercial variety is "Roxo de Valinhos" (California Brown Turkey) Japan's is "Masui Dauphin" (also thought to be CBT) I believe South Africa is associated with "Adam" fig (aka French variety "Dauphine") __________________ Rick C.

Good responses so far, but what about Europe? The rest of the Mediterranean? __________________ "Padres Fan" San Diego, California USA Sunset Zone 24- coastal So. Cal
