Hey Thera,I got the NV1 from a local trade. It hasn’t grown too much but hopefully it will grow enough to take some scions this Winter. Please check back with me in dormant season. VDB has been consistently good when grown in San Diego. Because of its excellent berry flavor and intense red coloration, it makes a great jam that can be stored and eaten in Winter when fresh figs aren’t normally available.

Simon, ok, thanks for the feedback. Yes I did purchase Unknown Pastiliere fig so that sounds good. It's a small plant so maybe next spring it may grow enough to have some fruits. I also have some Black Madeira grafted on this Brown Turkey tree, do you think it will taste better caprified or not caprified ? The new graft has 2 small figs now.
I have some great news (at least for me). I just started collecting figs this year after reading Simon's post and suggestions for fig sellers.After collecting maybe 40+ different varieties, I just noticed this weekend that I have a spot with many new variety seedling trees. The fig trees are over 20-40 yrs old and some are very large trees. I just checked it out and found a few very good tasting figs in the bunch. Will wait until next spring to checkout/taste all of the fig varieties. I may need to come up with some good names for the excellent tasting ones. Here's one red flesh fig I liked and so took a few photos.
