Chris,
 
I'm surprised about your experience w/Petite Negri.  My potted tree produces more than a hundred figs in a season.  Quite amazing.  Either our growing conditions differ drastically or you have a mislabeled cultivar.

I'll vouch for Chicago Hardy.  It produces for my parents planted in the ground by a small
ornamental pond.  Most years, dies to the ground, but comes back and produces a crop of figs.
Some years the figs have not ripened, but now that we know about oiling, we're more likely to
get a crop.  I also have one in a pot, and though it does produce figs, the crop is much
smaller.
 
I also have what was purchased as Petite Negri (but is more likely Negronne).  I've had it in a pot
for years, but it never produces a fig.  This Spring I'm planting it out along with the Chicago Hardy.
 
Though Chicago Hardy is good, I'd like a larger fig that produced on new wood (for those years
when it gets killed back to the roots).
