Hello,
I recently got a plant of Col De Dame Blance. The leafs are very big. I live in Staten Island (Zone:7a) and I think this will not survive in ground. Can I grow it in a container?
Thnx,
Imran

yes you can grow it in containers.

you can grow almost anything in the container. i really don't see any problem. tho i keep hearing that figs grown in ground taste better. as long as you provide proper water and nutrient, i don't see any specific reason why fig grown in the container will have any specific problem. so far my three 4 yr old trees are doing rather well in 10 gal container. another one 3 yr old one is doing well in 10 gal also. i have 2 yr in 10 gal also, it just got off from transplant shock and doing well now.. i like the fact that i can control things in container. 

Thanks a lot!

clay is loaded with micornutrients and minerals, but of course the downside of clay is that it is not porous and can really clog up a pot if too much is included in the mix. Good luck with your plants, keep an eye on them to ensure the clay does not become a negative 

here is my CdDB UCD going into second yr. it's currently in 3 gal container.
