KK, I work in Moonachie. I see lots of homes around here with very old trees growing without any winter protection. It's amazing when your a Figgie you notice all the trees growing...


Question, how many years in general does it take before these locals gave up protecting their trees. Is their a timeframe in years before a well established tree doesn't need protection?

I started growing figs about 6 years ago with some generous members sending cuttings. I have three different varieties growing well in ground the last 4 years. This was the first winter I didn't trim and wrap the trees. Guess what, I don't think they did well with old man winter. Lots of dead brown but I'm hoping they come to life within the next month.

I have two container trees that have leafed out already as backup.


What varieties are you growing?

I will take one, paypal instant tell me how much

Shame that people are just letting these old strains go to the dump. I will keep and share in future.

Left over from last year Bellevue Purple local unknown (TN). My first year plant put on figs but did not ripen. Received this from Chris in TN. He promises its not brown turkey :)

Received this in a trade last year. They said it was a Black Ischia tissue culture. 
I don’t have red buds, maybe its still too young http://figs4fun.com/Info/Info_Black_Ischia.html

The plant I received was tiny and didn’t look like a fig. Took forever to get moving and then it grew pretty good but did not put out any figs.

Hey James,


I replied to your PM but it tells me you don't accept PM's

I still have this one. You need to include your zip and the variety name so I can keep track.
