I’m in the process of buying a house in North Carolina with four fig trees. I have been told I can harvest them and have yet to research how to handle that and what to make of them. Never had figs before.

KC. They might be Brown Turkey or Celeste, both widely planted in the south.

Before you close see if the selling owner knows or can identify the varieties. If he can't neighbors might know. It Can be helpful in knowing what to expect. (Does it tolerate rain or will it split? Does it drop fruit every other year? Does it produce an early Breba crop? Is it early ripening or late? )

Some resources:

https://www.figdatabase.com/ (If you get variety names you can research them here!)
