Please help me decide: Corky's Honey Delight?

Hi folks! I'm currently located in North Dallas(zone 8a). I'm trying to decide on one more fig tree to grow in a pot. I currently have:

  • LSU Gold
  • LSU Purple
  • Celeste
  • Black Italian
I saw a variety at the local Lowe's called Corkey's Honey Delight potted by Monrovia($52 before taxes, so pretty pricey). Would this be a good addition or should I go with a Chicago Hardy, Magnolia, Kadota, Texas Everbearing, or Tiger?

$52 is a lot of money in my opinion.  It is a good variety though and I would recommend it.

I have one and while it is definitely a good honey fig, it's somewhat similar to kadota in my opinion. If money is an issue, you can probably find a kadota on ebay for pretty cheap.

I ended up going with the Corkey's Honey Fig. It already had a few figs on it and looks great. How has production been for y'all with this fig? I read it doesn't grow too tall. Space is essential since I'm growing these suckers on an apartment patio. Does that seem to be true?

They sell for $50 here. Has a heavy breba crop.
