I would like to introduce my self and thank each and every one off you for all the great info that is available on this amazing forum... I came across this forum about two months ago when I started looking for info on the net about transplanting my five year old fig (Mrs Williams) I was really surprised to find this wonderful place and of course after reading all off the postings I found all my answers. Been collecting figs For About six years all tho not as extreme as you guys, got 18 known variates and about 15 unknown that I found growing in peoples yards around the town, all my figs are in pots but one, which I plan to pot up as well as we are in process of selling this property... Ripening figs here its a bit of a challenge thanks to lots of rain we get and are mild summer that is why I haw been grooving in pots which gives me a bit more control. Once again I would like to thank all of you for the good work you do and keep adding knowledge to this wonderful forum, I cant believe I hadn't ran in to you guys earlier but I guess better late than newer...

Dan,
Let me be one of the first to welcome you!  You introduced yourself, and that is wonderful!  You will make a lot of friends here!

Welcome

@Dan, Welcome to the forum.

Auckland growing zone would be much similar to Vancouver, Canada. I used to live in Hamilton
and Palmerston N. An excellent variant to try would be Desert King. Osborne Prolific and Latarrula
should work too. Love my brown trout fishing there.
