Hi Friend:
I live at PNW, only handful of fig tree can rippen it figs properly due to cool summer, just not enough heat... we have many "Desert king" fig tree in our area.
However, I doubt that it is a very good choice for your area, My co worker, He pocketed some cuttings to Malaysia during his Xmas trip 2 year back, He told me that "Desert king" grows very fast in Malaysia, only complaint is that, it has sweet figs for 3 weeks/year only while other ever-bearing common type of fig tree giving out sweet fig for about 10 weeks/ year.
