I adore figs! Everything I read about them is they are semi tropical and only a few varieties will make it here in northwest DFW. I've been a chicken and not planted them for reading about how they hate cold, but I think I'm taking the plunge in the next month or two as our long term winter forecast is for not as cold and rainy - a great first winter.
There is a fig that is called Panachee or Tiger fig that if your climate allows, you should grow. The skin is pale yellow with green stripes. The interior is as sweet as fig jam. One of the best foods I've ever eaten.
Good luck with yours!
