Tiger fig for the sandiego area?

Hey! 

I want to plant a tiger fig tree but Im not sure if it will be suited for the climate in the San Diego area, I like how the fig looks but I actually want to eat them, so, is it a good variaty for the area? if it wont ripe I would like some non brown/black fig... any sugestions? a fiend of mine told me to buy a Petesrs honey or a Kadota.... any sugestions?
Tnx

Alex,

Depends on where you are. Point Loma - won't work. El Cajon - good to go. I have one near College Grove, and I usually ripen about 10% of the crop. 100s of figs still on the tree. The last couple days might nudge a few more to ripen.

I guess the best way to know is to give one to a neighbor and wait... meanwhile I can ask for a fig or two if it works, If not, well... try another fig :P

mmm, Ill give it a try. I live in La Mesa so I hope to get better results that 10% of the crop... :)
