Hard question to answer. Depends on what you prefer taste wise. Do you prefer honey? berry? melon? Or just a figgy flavor. Lots of good ones out there. Peters honey was excellent this year. Hardy Chicago is excellent every year. Celeste was also good but more of a pure sugary fig. Not my favorite but was happy to have it. For your area Smith would also probably be a favorite. Rates right up there next to BM in flavor intensity and complexity. __________________ Jeff in zone 5b Wish list St rita,Vista,Sal's G,De la Reina, preto, Sport and pops purple red from Bellaclare, Planera Malta Black, Navid Unk Dark Greek,

I would recommend a Mount Etna type, they are reliable producers and fairly vigorous in most any climate __________________ Georgia - Zone 8a My Current Figs: O'Rourke, LSU Tiger, LSU Scott's Black, LSU Hollier, LSU Improved Celeste, LSU Scotts Yellow, LSU Champagne, LSU Gold, LSU Purple, Strawberry Verte, Col de Dame Noir, Figo Preto, Nero 600 M, Raspberry Latte, Chicago Hardy, Celeste, Brown Turkey, Violette de Bordeaux, Kadota Wish List: RdB, Colonel Littman's Black Cross
