A Marseilles VS was recommended for my mother's climate.  I don't have that but I do have the Monticello thanks to a generous forum member.  Anyone have both?  Are they the same/similar?

 

Thanks.

Marseilles Black VS is a dark fig. I have white marseilles from JR which is an extremely sweet fig and is yellow when ripe. The MBVS is very rain tolerant and delicious fig with full flavor--the White Marseilles is just very sweet and not very rain tolerant. At least , not in my coastal Texas climate. Not sure that it is different from the Monticello variety.

I don't know if the monticello is white or dark.  I'll try to find out  :)  Celt, can you tell me about the differences?
