What's missing from my fig collection

Hi guys got hit with the fig bug like most of us here. Went 34 years without having a fresh one until my wife bought some at Trader Joe's. That led to me buying a black mission, panache, kadota, brown turkey and one unknown variety. What's some other varieties that are productive in my warm climate of north county San Diego?

Wow now let me know if you have the fig wasp first if so I have some good ones that need the wasp that supposed to be extra good. I have no wasp. Also have common type but wasp varieties are just awesome looking.

VdB should definite be on your list...
Armstrong nurseries carry them along with a few other varieties you might not have...

Figpig I'm not sure if I have the fig wasp in my area.

Run. Seriously, all these fancy names will be here a year from now. If I had to start over I would by cheap cuttings and learn how to propagate and have them literally develop into plants. After you try and fail a few times you can then decide what works, is it worth the trouble and then pursue more expensive varieties. Good luck.
Propagating I have a handle on but transitioning from the humidity bin to developed plants is where I’m struggling and when you invest in expensive varieties and then toss them gets you in a tough spot.
