Hi the friends,
I need your help to decide 1 Fig to be planted for in ground.
I have planted in ground so far:

Hardy Chicago
Green Greek
Improve Celeste
Dalmatie
Marseilles vs Black

And I have room to plant one more but I'm very skeptical of which type should I plant.
I'm looking for standing taste, sweet and hardy (which will require no covering in the far future) for zone 6b-7 Queens NY.

This is what I have:

Genovis Nero
Vasilika Sika
Smith
Negrone
VdB
RDB
Italian Red & Green
Adreano
Gota De Mel
Kathleen's Black
Valle Negra

I will really appreciate if you answer this one, you will be great help.

Thank you

George

Hi there, I am in the same area and my Improved Celeste died to the ground this winter. It was protected. So, I would keep it as a contained plant. 

I would keep a potted copy of any in ground tree that I value.  That said, out of your list, in my opinion

RDB or Valle Negra would have the best combination of cold hardiness and taste.

RdB.

Why not do a Multigrafted tree?

RdB or Valle Negra.

What is Got de Dame? Never heard of that one.

Valle Negra. Nero 600M... if you have that one.

I think they meant this: Col de Dame , not Got de Dame.

How big is the space? Less than 8 ft I think you should plant Valle Negra, more than 8ft RdB.

Hi,
RDB being a big tree. I would try it in ground .
How is the dirt at the location ? Clay, sand, other ?
Good luck,

Here is an old thread ref NJ figs (similar zone)

I also agree with Bill about keeping a spare. 

I also forgot to mention that I also have:

Panache
CDD
Valle Calda
Black Madeira
Adriatic

Since I took out Kathleen's Black, now I have room for one more, any suggestions?

Another option would be to put more than one variety in the hole and prune accordingly.

Valle Calda is Nero 600M. I wonder how it did at herman's location past winter.

thank you guys, I really appreciate your help

RDB at least in part gained it's popularity for reliable cold hardiness. I'd pair that with a light fig, perhaps Green Greek. I don't grow GG so don't know how hardy it is, so also recommend Latarolla
