Growing Fig Trees In Northern Thailand

[jaltsc]

Has anyone had any experience growing fig trees in northern Thailand (Chiang Mai, Maehongson areas)?

 

I had great success growing them in a warm-temperate climate. However, I am most concerned with how the tress will fare during the rainy season.  I would think that there would be the danger of rot and yellowing leaves. I have seen figs for sale here, albeit a variety with which I'm not familiar. The inner fruits are more of a golden yellow color vs. the the purple I'm used to in the dark skin varieties, or rosy color of green skinned varieties.

Someone is growing dates in CM Province, if you are interested in 'exotic' fruits.  I tried a fresh cluster cut from a big, and very heavy pedicel (?) last year bought at TOPS.  Very interesting fruit, taking a long time to ripen in my room.  Each day i tried one and the texture and taste changed daily.

Figs??
