Wanted to introduce myself as a new fig tree owner.
I have two Italian Everbearing trees (one in ground, one potted) as this was the
type my father used to have.
With the weather changing I'm starting to get them ready for winter so any additional
advice would be greatly appreciated.
Have a good day.
Ray
This is also a "by-week" ----sigh

Good to have another Steelers fan in here. Im orginaly from Erie but in the warm state of Florida now.
My advise, read this form a few times a week. I pull little bits and pieces from the posts.

Hi Ray, and welcome to fig madness! Don't forget to read all the old posts on both forums. Lots of great information through others trials & tribulations. Sure saves us newbies a lot of mistakes. |

Steelers!
Here's a Post-Gazette article on figs from a couple of years ago:

Pittsburgh still has a few neighborhoods with substantial Italian immigrant populations. If you walk around Bloomfield, Lawrenceville, or Sewickley, you will find many fig trees and a wealth of winter protection advice.

Brought the potted tree into my garage and plan to
close-out the light to stop the growth.
The little tree is outside against a wall. I thought about enclosing it in leaves with styrofoam and plastic sheeting as an outer cover. Got my fingers crossed!
