desrt king and the orphan same variaty? The two seem similar. And the Anything good preservation variaty? The expiry date is not a few days. So the condition of variaty are looking for. 1. winter hardy 2.taste good 3.large size Recommend me variaty belonging to the three conditions

Between the two varieties I cannot say as I only have DK. Now as for a good cold Hardy fig that taste good and produced good after winter die back. MvsB, Sal's G, and connies dark. Connies being the larger. __________________ Dave Zone 6b Illinois "Be the change you wish to see in the world"

I am testing a few more for cold hardiness this winter. Violetta bayerfeinge, and nordland. We will see how it goes. __________________ Dave Zone 6b Illinois "Be the change you wish to see in the world"

What zone are you in. Here in my zone 6/7, your benchmarks would suit what I have in-ground like Desert King, Conadria, Osborne Prolific, Verns BT, Latarrula, Granthams Royal, Longue d'Aout

Longue d'Aout was the largest fig in my yard. One of the sweetest with very good quality flavor. It had winter die-back but grew from the roots and still gave me 14 figs this year. My tree is 2 years old. __________________ Frank zone 7a - VA

Shipping to a foreign country is difficult, it depends on Korea's import laws. Here in the US if we get a foreign shipment of plants without permits the govt comes and takes it, and sometimes takes all your plants. So here it is not worth the risk, plus the potential for importing invasive insects or plant diseases. __________________ Phil - Zone 7A - Newark, DE Newbie fig lover just trying to learn.
