Living in very hot areas like zone 9A Battaglia green dominates the green skin red center figs. I have grown Ventura, Verte, Strawberry Verte, Vasilika Sika, Smith, Col de Dame Blanc and JH Adriatic. Hands down Battaglia Green is the most aggressive grower with the largest fruit, quick to fruit and very prolific. Awesome strawberry Jam with a bite of acid to balance it going into the 3rd year it is really something. My best growers here are Battaglia Green, Genovese Nero, RDB, Conadria and Col de Dames.
