I have heard ok things about Smith and Excel, nothing incredible. I have heard the following produce excellent top tier figs; Marseilles vs black, Col de Dame, Paradiso, JH Adriatic, Nero600, Violet Sepor, Vista (strain of VdB), Ronde de Bordeaux, Black Madeira, and a bunch others I did not list. A lot of these were mentioned a bunch in past threads on figs4fun, on taste reports and best figs of the year for xyz person etc.

Thanks for the report Nulz... Do you have any feedback on the common Fig virus that many fig trees carry, especially those coming from Socal Nurseries?

FMV is in a lot of the fig cuttings including a lot of those strains. Reportedly most figs will do ok with FMV and will out grow the infection without much affect on the trees health and yield. FMV is not like citrus greening, figs can survive a long life with it and still produce nice crops. If you want figs that don't have FMV then you need to get Tissue cultured figs, and insure you have no other figs or mulberries planted in the yard. Its not that big of a deal for a virus, though you should assume any cuttings not from TC plants may carry it.
Doglips:
If you are referring to the Moasaic (fmv) virus, I think it is everywhere and I from what I've seen it doesn't do much harm beyond making the leaves ugly. I'm sure they would be happier without it. It hits mulberries too. Can't do anything about it and the trees still seem to thrive. Non-issue in my book.

I absolutely cant understand people who let gophers coexist with your fruit trees. Kill them! Dont use metal cages, get proficient at using gopher traps and just eliminate them. Yes its a chore, if you didnt want the chore then you should have bought another property that was gopher free or give up growing. Its not that hard, my 1.5 acres was infested when I bought it. I have trapped and killed hundreds. Its not that hard.
