Common Fig
Ficus carica
Personal and anecdotal
Seems to hold up well to drought and our winters. I often seem them on the edge of peoples yards but I've yet to meet some one who actually watered them.
They are very difficult to propagate from seed but can be grown from green-wood cuttings pretty easily. Takes a few years for them to start to fruit when doing this though.
Depending on the variety you can get one or two crops a year. Some people have a hard time figuring out when they are ripe, easiest method I've found and to watch the fruit: if it's starting to droop then its time to pick it. They don't last long after picking so either eat them within the next few days or learn to preserve them. Also birds will be a huge competitor for the fruit. Some trees smell funny (almost like cat pee?) but I've yet to figure out why some do and some don't.
