Figowiec jadalny potrafi się rozmnażać zarówno wegetatywnie jak i płciowo, więc co roku powstaje tysiące nowych odmian wskutek zapylenia owoców i roznoszenia ich przez ptaki i inne zwierzęta. Natomiast liczba znanych odmian jest znacznie mniejsza – obecnie jest kilkaset udokumentowanych i opisanych odmian. Były na świecie też prowadzone projekty naukowe mające na celu wyhodowanie nowych, użytecznych odmian figowca jadalnego – z czego najbardziej znane były prowadzone w Stanach Zjednoczonych na Uniwersytecie Kalifornii w Davis (UC Davis) i Uniwersytecie Stanu Luizjany (LSU).
Poniżej jest lista unikatowych odmian z którymi mamy doświadczenie, lub o których mamy jakąś wiedzę. Lista wszystkich istniejących odmian jest znacznie dłuższa, ale dla wielu odmian brakuje formalnych opisów, a inne nie są znane poza miejscem uprawy, przez co jest ciężko potwierdzić ich unikatowość. Niektóre odmiany mają po kilka synonimów, co utrudnia poprawną identyfikację. Sprzedawcy też często wymyślają własne, nowe nazwy dla już istniejących odmian. Aby pomóc hodowcom i ogrodnikom w odróżnianiu odmian i unikaniu niepotrzebnych zakupów, dodaliśmy kolumnę z listą znanych synonimów dla każdej odmiany.
Wiele czynników – jak np. wilgotność i temperatura powietrza, liczba godzin naświetlenia, czy pora roku w którym dojrzewają figi – ma wpływ na końcowy smak i wygląd owoców figowych. Innymi słowami, ta sama odmiana może inaczej wyglądać i smakować w różnych warunkach. Pojedyncze drzewka danej odmiany potrafią się też sporo różnić od siebie pod kątem charakterystyki wzrostu. Np. wersja odmiany Czarna z Madery o nazwie "Czarna z Madery (KK)" wyraźnie szybciej rośnie niż pierwotna odmiana, choć ma takie same liście i owoce. Takie różnice pomiędzy pojedynczymi drzewkami komplikują odróżnianie odmian od siebie, ale też sprawiają że uprawa fig jest tematem obszernym i fascynującym.
