What would your ONE pick be for a heated greenhouse ?

[Poppa_curse]

I don’t have enough experience but I thought it would be an interesting part 2 for favourite variety in ground.

@Poppa_curse
How much outdoor space do you have?

 

[Poppa_curse]

I have enough space. I just thought everyone’s answer would change if they didn’t have to worry about temperature. I have a fully insulated shed 10’ by 14’ , I’m considering changing the roof to glass like a “fig house”

I guess this one won't work then.....

For an over-winter greenhouse that could be ok with triple pane glass. But for Spring through Fall you'll need transparency on the sides from 32 inches up.

Hold on.... I thought you were asking number one greenhouse pick... as in what greenhouse to choose. I've grown in heated greenhouses and you can grow pretty much any variety you want with the right climate and pest control.

This place has some very good quality greenhouses, and they're in the neighbourhood, so they understand the sort of load requirements you'd need. Most go with twin wall poly-carbonate walls but there are 5-wall options now that are supposed to have some amazing R ratings.

Sorry for being so vague everyone ,I just noticed how I posted the question, I should have said
What would be your one fig variety to grow in a heated greenhouse.
I’ll have to start previewing, lol

Beltrana always looked good and Del Sen Juame Gran always got good reviews.

A Capri fig with population of fig wasps to pollinate all my other in ground figs trees in the same greeen house.

 

[SpiritFarmVa]

If that’s cheating we might find one of the varieties that has a great breba and produces a main crop so we could have a really long harvest season.

 

[Charlie Dodgson]

A Capri fig

Might as well make it persistent. I'd recommend Saleeb for general-purpose breeding, although I don't remember if it has a Mamme crop to overwinter the wasps.
