See people from all over the country. Currently reside in Lowell, AR.  any other figgies in the general area?(NE OK, SE KS, SW MO)

Yes, i live in N.W.Ark, Eureka Springs on Beaver Lake.I know that you know where that is.

yes, not too far from me here in Lowell.  I go through E.S. on my way to Green Forrest for work every now and then.  Pretty drive.  Not a fun one when it is icy.
Can you share if you have any figs in the ground, what they are, and how they do?

I have a friend who lives in Jacksonville, AR. He's growing a bunch of figs in the ground but his most successful seems to be a celeste. He has a couple celestes but the hardiest one also has the best flavor.

The oldest ones in the ground are Hardy Chicago,Dessert King, Magnolia and an unknown(but very,very good)
The newest ones in the ground are Prolific,negronne,stella,sal c, smith and again a couple of unknown.
I also have some newly starters that are going in the ground soon.

Hi , I just bought 10 acres in Des Ark AK. I will plant some figs there next fall. I would like to hear what you are growing inground. Rex.

All of mine are brand new but are/will be in the ground.  I am exclusivly looking for figs that are cold hardy and can survive (once mature) without too much help.
Rex, a key is location, out of prevailing N-NW wind (by house or large boulders etc) and in an area with full sun that does not hold water.

Where is Des Ark, Alaska?

Good to see several from this area!
