I have been looking for potentially cold hardy and early figs to try here in CO and came across Colorado Blanco in last years cutting list from Encanto. There is no listing on the varieties page for it and google hasn't turned up anything either. Anyone know anything about this one? Is it from CO or is the name just a coincidence? __________________ Andy - Zone 6a Lat 39.9º N, Alt 5390' Westminster CO ⚘ Scion List

I don't know about that variety, but just wanted to say welcome to a fellow Coloradan. __________________ Calvin Littleton,CO z5/6 Wants List: For everyone to clean-up after themselves and co-exist peacefully. Let's think more about the future of our planet and less about ourselves. :)

Hey Calvin, thanks! I have been pleasantly surprised to find there are a few of us here. I'd love to hear about how and what others are growing in CO sometime. __________________ Andy - Zone 6a Lat 39.9º N, Alt 5390' Westminster CO ⚘ Scion List

They are listed as CB-1 through CB-16. They are seedlings, none of which has fruited, yet, that grew sup at the base of by Colorado Blanco Banana tree, hence their temporary designations. Some do have interesting leaves. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Too cool. Up until about November I was starting to wonder if I was the only moron in Colorado trying to seriously grow figs. Kyle from your registration date it looks like you have been at this for some time. It would be neat to hear experiences from you and Andy some time. It's starting to look like we could start a CFGA.(Colorado Fig Growers Association)Unofficially. __________________ Calvin Littleton,CO z5/6 Wants List: For everyone to clean-up after themselves and co-exist peacefully.

Thanks Jon! I should have guessed they were your seedlings. CB-9 has especially interesting leaves. __________________ Andy - Zone 6a Lat 39.9º N, Alt 5390' Westminster CO ⚘ Scion List

I second Calvin's request, it would be great to here what others are growing here. Maybe we could even have a fig tasting at some point. __________________ Andy - Zone 6a Lat 39.9º N, Alt 5390' Westminster CO ⚘ Scion List
