These are my picks for South Florida.
Violete de Bordeaux is amazing in production and best tasting fig. Rich berry like delicious!
The fig is however very prone to rust. Fruit does not seem to be prone to splitting or spoiling.
Growing several container VDB for two years now.
LSU Purple very good less prone to rust good taste.
Kadota and White Genoa very good nice light green figs super flavor. Yes they will grow here in Florida!
Texas Blue Giant Bigger fig better taste than BT!
I have been experimenting with Panache but so far not impressed.
Also may have a few more to suggest soon we are growing.
Grow in containers if you have sandy soil
