1. Olympian fig tree
A very cold-hardy variety with medium-sized fruit. Every year Olympian is the first variety that grows fruits in my 30 different varieties in Vegas, and it is the last one that leaves fall down in winter. Normally you could get ripe fruits from April to November, even to the next January. According to my experience, even if all the leaves fall down in winter in Summerlin, the rest fruits still can be ripe!
2. Chicago hardy fig tree
A very cold-hardy variety with medium-sized fruit. Chicago Hardy fig is my favorite fig, because its fruit tastes very very delicious! The fruit has a particular smell. According to my experience, the ripe fruit won’t fall down on the ground and will be dried fruit on the branch. The dried fruit tastes more delicious than the fresh fruit.
3. Celeste fig tree
This variety has a small-sized fruit. It tastes also very delicious! The kids like its fruit! Because the fruit is small, people could put it in wine from narrow bottle neck. If you like fig wine, it’s a great choice!
4. Magnolia fig tree
This variety has a medium-sized fruit. This variety grows its branches very fast in Vegas, more branches more fruits! It’s a purple variety and tastes sweet.
5. Kadota fig tree
This variety has a medium-sized fruit. The fruit tastes very very sweet. It’s a green variety. The ripe fruit’s color is green or light yellow.
