Figs in Easter Washington

I'm starting to grow figs in Eastern Washington, I'm in zone 6A.  It would be great to have a few suggestions on a few more hardy varieties.  I'm potting them all, and will bring them in for the winters.  I have 8 plants ATM and I am looking to pick up a few more before summers end.

I would consider Hardy Chicago, Gino's black or MBVS within the Mount Etna family. I would also look at RdB, and Desert King.

Thxs 4 the input, ill see if i can locate those.

Try to find a Ronde de Bordeaux. It is said to be pretty cold hardy, very good taste, fast grower and it can give you fruit the same year after freezing to the ground.

Get Grantham's Royal. It is the best fig for taste and yield for E Washington according to Burntridge.

Thxs for the input ill look for RDB and Grantham's Royal either this fall as cuttings or in the spring.  I cant wait, I want them all, lol
