I’d love to hear what varieties everyone is growing.

I’m somewhat new to figs, I’ve been growing a Chicago hardy for the past 3 years and absolutely love it.

I’ve expanded my collection this year to include violette de bourdeux, celeste, beers black, and desert king. I doubt I’ll get any fruit from those varieties this year, but I will post some pictures regardless.

We planted a violette de bordeaux this past Spring. It's the first fig we've planted.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about that variety. VdB and Celeste are the two I’m most excited to try.
