Fig varieties, advice please

I got in touch with jurassic plants, an ebay seller, who sold me a couple of lovely little plants earlier this year. I had asked them what else they had available and they told me that thay had:

Flat (Pogacsa)
Ice
Brown Italian
Sultane
Fingered Giant

Does anyone here have experience withany of these varieties?

I couldn't resist, it was £30 for all of them, including postage. I'm just hoping that they don't mind the short season but I will never know if I don't try!

Not sure about the others but Sultane is suppose to be a small but early fig.

Thank you Tony, yes I found a description of Sultane which sounds promising but couldn't find anything on the rest. The seller is in Wales, so not so far north as us but they said that they are all cold tolerant varieties suitable for tye UK.

I have Brown Italian if it's the same as mine which is called Toni's Brown Italian. It's a lot like Latturula but brown on the outside and sweeter and richer.

Thanks Denis. I am new to figs so not familiar with any yet! Do you know of a resource anywhere that lists synonyms of fig names. There seems to be a lot of confusion in naming them.
