Hello fig friends.  This is the title of a new blog I'm working on, Figs Fort Smith!, gathering info on specifically local fig varieties that have survived outdoors so I can share with others in our area who may be new to figs and need info on what to get, concentrating on surviving varieties in-ground.  Everybody is not like the rest of us fig fanatics and just want to plant it out in the yard and forget it.  

If you are local, have fig tree(s) that are in ground, surviving a few winters and have been quite or we simply have missed each other in posting, please contact me with your variety info and pics if possible if you would like to contribute.

Thanks!

Charlie

Charlie,
I have several in ground, most will be 3 year olds but spending their first winter in ground (with protection). I have a MBVS and a Ginos that have spent the past 2 winters in ground and have done well (in ground).  About an hour north of you.  Looking forward to what info you may have to share.
