Thank you for the answers,
I discovered about adriano, last year, but Toronto is quite a drive from here,
brugmansia-quebec is closer to my house and seems to offer interesting varieties, but I plan on getting a couple of cutting from trees I spotted while driving and from my dad's friends
Frank my zone is 5b, this summer was really hot and dry, so nice,
Here are my 2 HC in march 2011, when they started in the garage a little too early,
and this is how they look today (I outlined the trunks in red to make it easier to see)
 
It started nicely this spring and then it stopped growing, I think I will prune close to the ground to promote the new growth that is forming there and keep it like a bush instead of a tree,
this is an airlayer that I tried this summer,
it put out new roots, but after I cut it from the tree, I realized the roots were brown and dry, so it all wilted, after 2 weeks in moist soil it is showing signs of new buds,
and finally a tree I bought at a local nursery,
and already ate its only fig last week, unknown for now
but i suspect a BT, altough the fig was rather small,
for being hooked, I think I am, as I said, figs remind me of my youth,
and my trip to Italy visiting family and enjoying tree ripened fresh figs
thanks for reading me
