Hi,

New Figs4Fun forum member. I was wondering if anyone knows of interesting fig books - not so much from the growing, how-to perspective, but more from culture, history, lore. I'm an avid reader and have a long commute. There seems to be a bunch of books that primarily focus on recipes, but I was wondering if anyone knows of other books.

Cool forum! I've been growing fig trees for five years, all in pots. Currently have - at different ages - Sicilian, Lattarulla, Brown Turkey, Chicago Hardy. Rooted a bunch of cuttings this winter, as well: Peter's Honey, White Genoa, Negronne, Vista.

welcome to the forum. i think most of the books are non-english. there are two books some of the members refer to often, but they are more of cultivation and cultivar related books. if you find some do let us know.

Welcome Arne!

Thank you, Jon. That's a nice link to some good resources.

And I see that Ohio can claim Condit as  a native son. That's neat.

Thank you, everyone!
