Have CDDG,CDDB,VDB,RDB,BM,Sals,LSU Purple,Grise Olivette,Jolly Tiger, and unknown Sicilian black. I think that's enough to start with, all in 1 gallon containers and will put in 5 gallon sometime in the summer. Next year in spring all the cold hardy figs will be put in the ground and all those I think of as being more sensitive will stay in pots(maybe). Live in NC zone 7b/8a

Its a Great Start, Ebay...???    Tasted the CCDBlanc, that changed everything, now I got real serious....LOL   Post photos if possible and welcome to the forum.

Just one advice about the Jolly tiger.

If you want to maintain the beauty of the leaves be sure to keep it in a shade or filtered sun.
If placed under direct sun then the variegated part (the light color) of the leaves will burn.

Good luck

Welcome, glad to have more Carolinians on here. hope you can make it to the fig fest is Aug..

Welcome! Congratulations and best of luck ! Also from NC.

Welcome!  Sounds like you are off to a great start.  Good luck with all those nice varieties!

From Queens,NY originally now retired in NC. Out of all the fruit growing up the fig brings back the most memories of my family. The fig was a community affair. We could only eat so much and always invited(family,friends and those we liked to come pick some. We had 3 huge Sicilian black of which 2 were different varieties. Next time I visit New York in 2015 I pray those trees are not cut by the present landlord and will hopefully be allowed a few cuttings

Welcome Adolfo, always nice to have new members!

great collection. also from queens living in nc now. flushing to be exact.

Had family live off of Utopia and a great many friends from Flushing to Bayside

Eventual want list will be Strawberry Verte, Vasilike, Red Lebanese,Panache and Smith. And of course hopefully next year some cuttings from Queens NY. Will Photo soon. I'm not that computer savvy and am still learning to post photos

My final tally acquired for 2014...I have CDDG, CDDN, CDDB, VDB, RDB, Sicilian Black, Sicilian Red, Atreano, Panache, Jolly Tiger, Grise Olivette, Strawberry Verte, Black Madeira, Marseille Black VS, Hardy Chicago, Sals EL, Negronne, LSU Purple, Smiths, Scotts and Thibadoux...Will photo this week...These will all go into 5 gallons soon too...one question...Which of these(say top 15 of that list) would be the most cold hardy in Zone 7A/B?... I do plan on planting at least half of these in the ground...Full sun facing south. Thank you

Marseilles Black, RdB, VdB (maybe), the Sicilians and Hardy Chicago are cold hardy. Maybe Sal's too.

What a great collection.  I'm new to NC growing too.  Formally from NJ and about a mile down the road from Bill's fig.  Welcome to the forum.

The  CDDG, Black Madeira and Negronne should also be hardy.
