Hi folks! I'm currently located in North Dallas(zone 8a). I'm trying to decide on one more fig tree to grow in a pot. I currently have: LSU Gold LSU Purple Celeste Black Italian I saw a variety at the local Lowe's called Corkey's Honey Delight potted by Monrovia($52 before taxes, so pretty pricey). Would this be a good addition or should I go with a Chicago Hardy, Magnolia, Kadota, Texas Everbearing, or Tiger? __________________ My figs:Saint Rita, Ronde De Bordeaux, Figo Preto, Adriatic JH, Marseilles Black VS, Celeste, Corkey’s Honey Delight, Black Italian, LSU Gold, LSU Purple Looking for: delicious, productive, fast growing fig trees for the zone 8a in Texas(near DFW)!

$52 is a lot of money in my opinion. It is a good variety though and I would recommend it. __________________ "Padres Fan" San Diego, California USA Sunset Zone 24- coastal So. Cal

I have one and while it is definitely a good honey fig, it's somewhat similar to kadota in my opinion. If money is an issue, you can probably find a kadota on ebay for pretty cheap. __________________ --Nate Oracle, AZ USDA Zone 8a

I ended up going with the Corkey's Honey Fig. It already had a few figs on it and looks great. How has production been for y'all with this fig? I read it doesn't grow too tall. Space is essential since I'm growing these suckers on an apartment patio. Does that seem to be true? __________________ My figs:Saint Rita, Ronde De Bordeaux, Figo Preto, Adriatic JH, Marseilles Black VS, Celeste, Corkey’s Honey Delight, Black Italian, LSU Gold, LSU Purple Looking for: delicious, productive, fast growing fig trees for the zone 8a in Texas(near DFW)!
