Wishlist: Yellow Yugo/Serbian Yellow and any other fig variety that carries a high number of breba figs to maturity without pollination by the fig wasp.

Yellow Neches, Becane (might be the same) and any other main crop fig variety, that ripens earlier than Ronde de Bordeaux

I don't know much about varieties or how to deal with them.
there was a fig tree in my garden when I was in Istanbul I was enjoying eating the figs.

Here in US Cary NC I would like to meet friends could help me find a land with fig trees.
so me and my family can enjoy eating fresh figs that we love.

Mali, welcome to the forum. My daughter-in-law is from Turkey and I have been trying to grow some of the varieties that she enjoyed at home. Unfortunately many require the fig wasp and our climate is too cool here for them to survive.  That is a limiting factor in selecting varieties.  Patlicans and Oraks are common figs and can be grown here for sure. Despite a lack of fig wasps, there are many delicious varieties that do grow in our climate (I am in SC so not too far away) and I am sure you will find forum members generous in helping you get the information and possibly some plants which will do well where you live.  Again, welcome to our country.

I live in Cary.  Just got into figs two years ago.  Currently have black mission, brown turkey, celeste and wild fig.

What fig types are you currently growing?

Tad

GregMartin,

It is a huge fig tree growing in the heart of Cary, NC.  Grows wild in a ditch along a very busy road and is very prolific.  Problem is that it is protected by layers of thorny vines which keep people away but not birds.  The few figs I did pick were black in color and very good.  The figs matured in late August and early September.
