Thanks for sharing that by the way.  :)

I couldn't' resist 1 more posting on this thread.

Fig purist hold your nose but my Persian walnuts are dropping and that is great news because they go great with fresh and dried figs.



They sure get yummier the longer you let them ripen.

 

happy figging to all!

Nice setup, I remember the snow living in NH, thanks for the memories.

great looking fig, Pino.

Pino,
Thanks for sharing the pictures and info, and your winterization procedure.
I'm planning on planting several more in ground trees of a found NYC fig, Unknown BryantDark. Its Pictures and taste description is similar to your U. Ciccio Nero.

  Пино, приют зимой с помощью моего коллегу в России.

Thanks Grant and to all for the feedback.  Hey I am just glad to have a few figs to enjoy after last winter and cool spring and first part of summer:)

Pete, we are in similar zones and I am planning to trial more varieties.  I follow your posts on training and growing and planning accordingly.

Vladis, you have read my mind!  Your cold protection method is what I dream my new row of figs will look like.  Thanks for the great photo!  I hope you can tell us how you put this together?  What materials were used and how do you hold them together?

Hmm...nice food for thought, thank you Vladis!  My cold hardy varieties are going in ground next year so I will remember this wood box concept.  Thank you!

Vladis, your winter protection looks very interesting!
Thanks for sharing!

Pino very impressive the lengths you go through to make sure these figs survive the winter when I'm in Niagara I would love to come by and of course
I would bring the coffee

Vladis I'm also impressed with your work it seems like a lot of work do you take it apart every spring or does the actual box stay in place?

Luzzu, That sounds great!  Send me a pm and we'll arrange.
Maybe we can trade fig trees!
