I am thinking about planting a fig tree but have no experience with growing figs at all. I have read that some of the recommended varieties and better tasting figs are Black Genoa, Brown Turkey and White Adriatic but would welcome actual knowledge from Workshop members. I know that fig trees grow quite successfully in Canberra but I am unsure as to which varieties might do best here.
I would of course like to eat them fresh but I want them primarily to dry as I have previously had great success with drying them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@darylhewston - Here is the recipe for dried figs as given to me. It was in imperial measurements but I have also included the metric measurements. When they have dried they will still be sticky. Place the figs in an airtight container or jar and they will keep for several months (I ate all mine before that ). These are the BEST dried figs I have EVER had but don't take my word for it - try it out for yourself. Please let me know the results. Bon appetit !!

NOTE
If you don't have a dehydrator try placing the figs on a tray lined with baking paper or a silicon mat and place them in the oven on the lowest setting. Check every few hours until done.
