Which fig varieties are the most productive in your collection? I have many read reports from members about different varieties, but they are scattered about and deserve a place of their own. I know there is the "best figs at your location" thread, but best does not necessarily mean most productive to everyone.

It has been in my experience, that as a tree matures its productivity will increases. One can not accept to harvest 100+ fruit from a 2 yrs old tree, it's impossible. Given the right care (fertilizing, root pruning and etc..), along with the location of a tree (what zone it's growing in) and the type of the cultivator (if right for climate), your harvest will increase as your tree ages. As of today, the most productive trees in my collection are, LSU Purple, VdB, Conadria & Bruswick. I do have other "late-very late" ripening varieties that do produce lots of fruits but only 30% of them will ripe. They need a warmer climate. Do I consider those "productive"? No.

I hope this will help.

That's an easy one for me.

Vista, Black Mission NL, Reverse, Panache, Celeste Encanto Honey, Black Madeira, Fifo Preto, Negronne (for tis size), etc. Unfortunately, BT generally produces massive amount of figs.

For me so far it:
Celeste, Atreano RR, Marseilles Black VS,Fica Nera de Duemane, LSU Purple, Lsu Gold and my Adriatic/Strawberry which I am 95% positive is White Adriatic. My Syrian Long looks promising. Looking to add some more to this list after this season.

Desert King, Vincenzo, Osborne Prolific, LSU Golden Celeste, Hollier

Conadria,Peters honey,Negronne,St. rita and HC, here in Michigan they do very good.

Undoubtedly,Marseilles vs black for me.
It could be because it comes out from Winter without frost Damage,being Winter tolerant more than others!
