Hi,
I am new to growing figs. I live in Panama City, Panama. During the months of May to November our rain patterns are quite similar to those of Fort Lauderdale Florida. The temperatures are “somewhat” similar.
I know that Rigo has done a TON of research on which varieties work well for South Florida. I think that the same knowledge will work also for me in Panama, considering that the rain patterns are sowewhat similar.
I don’t have much space, so I want to get 4-5 very flavorful varieties. I read elsewhere that Col de Dame Blanc, Italian 258, Alma, and Smith would we good choices for hot and humid places, but I am hoping that Rigo and others in the south Florida area can save me some headaches (heartaches) here.
Right now I have Petite Negri (which hasn’t produced yet), and Black Mission which produced medium quality figs first, but then started to rain a lot and the last figs I harvested were a bit bland. I must say however that I am not sure if this was caused by the rain,or some error on my part on fertilization.
thanks for help!
