What to look for when Choosing the RIGHT Fig Variety for Humid Climates

Dare I say that the information that I'm going to present to you, is probably my most important contribution to fig growers. I'm quite proud of what I've learned over the last 8 or so years growing figs in a climate where you'll certainly see some difficulties. If the fig tree had an enemy, it would certainly be the rain. The fig books won't tell you some of this information because the fig experts of the past and current weren't growing figs in a place you probably shouldn't. Therefore I believe that this information is incredibly valuable. Yet.. I am happy to provide this information for free. I only ask that you apply this information to your own situation, expand on it and lets talk about it to potentially learn more.

So without boring you any further, lets talk about the fig tree variety characteristics you should look for when growing figs in a humid climate. I'll be discussing the eye of the fig, the skin, the shape and something called the susceptibility window.
