And my fig tree:
Nice and enjoy
I'd love to see what kind of fruit that produces. I hope it does well for you!
a possible candidate for a sip or gutter garden?
wow Fig wading pool. awesome
Beautiful photo and scenery. The fig tree seems to be drooping into the lake but its roots are up in the rocks nice and dry?Hope it proves to be a good fig for you.
Wow,how lovely! Good luck.
pino I don't know. However I think the rocks don't block all water, but I can be wrong. We will see, maybe on this forum someone is from Riva del Garda. ;)
Beautiful!
Man what a photo! Marius you lucky dog!!!!
This picture is really good. However, I am not author. Photo was teken by my colleague from polish forum. (Greg)
Due north of Verona. I imagine it has some cold-hardiness?
musillid I don't know. I saw on internet that grows there Trachycarpus.
@musilid, it rarely gets below freezing in the lake area of northern Italy and if it does it's never more than -4 celsius max.The advantage of fig trees native to that region is they need less heat to ripen than the ones from down south. This could be an advantage for northern growers with mild summers and falls.
That's fascinating. Over here we are south of that location and can hit - 20F. So, could freeze in ground, but could ripen earlier.
Correct and do ripen in colder summers.Some cultivars typical to that region are Salam, Rimes, Brianzolo, Genovese, Lunghetto, Luv, Monachino, Murel, Rosso Lombardo, Della Madonna, Della Signora.Basically from the Trento/Lombardy region.
