I would take the descriptions on Fig Database with a small grain of salt. It takes snippets of conversations from outside its website to develop a description. I'm not saying every entry is right or wrong just that the summary can be weighted on the source it comes from.
Agree 100%... You can put it down to any number of factors... and the source is definitely often a factor.
One of the things I can say pretty definitively is that the same exact fig can often grow very differently in different areas. An experience recorded buy a grower can be vastly different from someone else in the same hardy zone. There are so many factors that can affect results. Sunlight, water, soil, nutrients, day length....
