I started growing figs this year from some free cuttings, and some traded ones. I have 5 different cultivars. I plan to put one in the ground. I will have to protect it. It's slightly hardier than Chicago hardy it's called Florea. The others I plan on storing them in the garage close to the house wall. I will monitor temps and bring them in if it becomes super cold. I overwinter cherry trees, blackberries, and blueberries now. Works well. Anyway most are fairly hardy.
Lot's of other blacks are around too, besides those listed.
Late Black
Kathleen’s Black
Black Bethlehem
Black Genoa
Black Greek
Gino's Black
and more I'm sure.
I have
Scott's Black
Marseilles Black vs
Florea
Violette de Bordeaux
Osborne Prolific
