My husband and I are getting ready to put our house on the market to move to the villages. He currently has over 200 fig trees of different varieties from all over the world. Needless to say, he will have to select only a few to bring with him when we move. The "Black Madeira" is one of the best tasting figs there is.Since Florida is humid, look for a fig variety with a closed eye to minimize splitting. Too bad we're not closer geographically, I would be more than happy to give one of ours!

PS. One tree will bear fruit; you don't need more trees for cross pollination purposes.
