If you could only have 5 fig varieties, which would they be?

What are your top 5? Are you basing it more on production or taste?

Thanks!

I love the taste of black Madeira, so that along with I-258, figo preto and strawberry verte are all great!
Can’t go wrong with a panache either.

+1 for the black Madeira. I'm also growing Panache but too young to report
on taste.

Not sure how it would do in Cali.  But ORourke is far and away my best producer in Florida.  Other notable quality figs are Hollier, Champagne, and Smith
