Figs come in more colors than brown, and vary in size, as shown above. There are brown, reddish, purple, striped and green or white figs. The smaller figs pictured above are from my brown Turkey fig trees. These trees produce abundantly and the figs are bite-sized and sweet. The green figs next to it are a variety of green or honey figs and boy, honey is right. I wish I had more like these! I am still searching for the paperwork that tells me their variety name as someone (not moi) mowed down the plant label! I preserve figs by dehydrating them and making and canning fig jam.
Edible Landscaping in Afton, VA, an organic nursery, has a large selection of fig varieties for Virginia at http://ediblelandscaping.com/buyPlants.
Happy gardening!
