There are a lot of figs that will grow in your area fine. brown turkey, chicago, black mission,black jack, dauphine, etc.... I suggest Black Jack, the turkey and the chicago personally, they are more cold hardy. the others you will have to bring in for the winter, which isn't hard, or store in the garage/etc. But ya obviously doesn't hurt going to a nursery, but honestly do your homework first. local nurseries do NOT always sell plants that will grow in the area. for instance I went to a nursery this spring, weigans, and they were selling lemon trees as well as orange and lime trees. lots of them. The lime trees even had limes on them, because they force fruit them and then ship them up. But I live in MI...we 'can' grow such things with trickery, but they won't grow here normally. Good luck, and cuttings from figs take easily so no need to buy like 5 of the same type, imo. you can have them coming out of your ears in no time by propagation.
