If you are in Georgia ,very thin skin,is not alwayes,good for rainy Georgia,because ,the skin will be eaten alive by grey fungus when raining while getting ripe.
I have seen the fungus penetrate on the side of the fig,and damage even the closed eye varieties,such as Hardy Chicago,and Celeste,Thow very seldom it happens.
You need figs with strong tough skin,like ,Scot's black,White Texas everbearing,Atreano,LSu Gold,Col de Dame, and most, LSU cultivars.
Of course tough skin with good flavorfull taste,and the cultivars i mentioned do have good tasting palatable tougher skin,compared to others.
Dr O 'Rourke,at LSU ,worked for many years to develope ,find grow and taste Fig cultivars that will resist the humid rainy conditions of the south,Specifically because the thinn skin cultivars of Turkey and Italy had a hard time in the south,of USA,
